Christmas in July

 

It happens every July.  When the hot and sticky St. Louis summer has done me in, I get Christmas fever.  I start humming carols and worrying about where I'll put my ginormous Christmas tree.  I spend my "free time" flipping through December magazine issues from years past and searching every craft website I can remember for inspiration.  

What gifts can I make this year?  Recipes?  Decorations?  Will I finally have the guts and time to join the Christmas Choir or just belt out my very favorite songs from the congregation?  Oh Christmas, such a hectic time of year.  I like to start preparing early so that I can enjoy every last minute of Tacky Sweater party bliss and baking cookies with my family. 

I have some alone time this weekend, so I am going to start my crazy search.  Do you have any ideas or inspiration for me?  I'm going to go spend some time with my BFF Martha.  Merry Christmas (in July)!
