"Our family beats the summer heat by celebrating Christmas in July. We stay inside all day watching our favorite holiday movies, making stocking stuffers, decking the halls and eating a Christmas dinner. The festivities end with reading the Nativity story and munching homemade cookies."

My own Rudolph Day is going to include some errands and busyness, but I also hope to take some time to look over my Christmas notebook and do some planning and tweaking of my Christmas lists, simplifying them a bit. Maybe I'll do a little online shopping for some necessary materials for handmade gifts. We will see!
HELLO!!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Rudolph Day to you!! I have been so busy lately that I have , unfortunately , not kept up with my Christmas Blog but hope to start to post on it more often......
Hope all is well with you!!
Hugs,
Deb
Rudolph Day greetings to you, Debbie!
ReplyDeleteI hear you about being busy!!! My life has gotten very busy this summer with added care for my elderly dad. The only way I managed Christmas in July this year was to keep the posts very simple and to schedule them all ahead of time. Otherwise I could never have done it.
Sadly, I've been too busy to read others' Christmas blogs very much ... but hopefully I can catch up before long!
God bless,
Mrs. T
