His face matches this appearance in that he is shown with a jolly smile behind bushy white beard and mustache which match fully his bushy white eyebrows.

His eyes, partially hidden behind either round or oblong shaped glasses always have a twinkle and transfix you with an inner happiness.

Organising everything can be very stressful so give yourself plenty of time. Once you have invited people, take some time to plan a list of the things you will need to buy and the jobs that need to be done beforehand. Do not leave it until the last minute. If possible delegate some jobs to other members of your family and give them a deadline for getting them done. After all, they are not just your christmas guests.

There were many excellent and memorable television shows and movies that hailed from those times and it is primarily because of the fact that they are so memorable that costumes paying homage to some of these shows are costumes that tend to be very popular.

One thing in particular about the 1960s and 1970s is the fact that these two decades gave birth to the start of the science fiction genre in a big way. There were movies beforehand in science fiction, but the 60s and 70s made science fiction into a household genre and there were two franchises in particular that helped get this done.
