I forgot about Christmas in July until the kids came running in and were yelling that Cartoon Network (NOT my favorite channel for kids) was having a Christmas in July marathon on today. Then I found out that a local radio station was playing Christmas music all day today. We've been having fun singing Christmas songs all afternoon. The boys even put a few Christmas decorations in their rooms.
While we were on vacation, I visited The Christmas Mouse Store in Pawley's Island and it had already put me in the mood for Christmas (I spent WAY too much money there) so finding all of the Christmas stuff today was a nice surprise. The boys are hoping that Santa will come (NOT!) and it's really too hot here to light the fireplace. But at least we were in the Christmas spirit for a few hours.
Merry Christmas (in July!)

Though we aren't doing it at the store (that I know of anyhow), there is a big push for Christmas in July to boost sales and hope that they remain elevated from now until the Christmas season. I was watching/listening to something about it the other day.
Most people hate me. I do probably 80-85% of my Christmas shopping in the January right after. We save and know that I've planned on it. I have 27 children to buy for and I stick to about $5-6 a piece (with two nieces and my daughter on the list of exceptions to that rule.) I have to plan for it that way or we would be in the poor house!
Love those pictures!
Sounds like fun -- but I am glad my kids never heard of it. :-)

We went to New Zealand a couple of years back and joked about making sandmen instead of snowmen and having a bbq on the beach rather than a christmas dinner...wish we where there now :)
