Christmas in July – You won’t want to miss this!
July 23, 2010 by Shelley
I am one of those crazy girls who plays Christmas music the day after Halloween. So, when we were asked to participate in ‘Christmas in July’, I was beyond thrilled. And, I might have even sung ‘Deck the Halls’. 
Some top creative blogs have gathered to create a Holiday Bake, Craft & Sew Along. Guest bloggers are posting sewing Christmas gifts at Skip to My Lou. At According to Kelly you’ll find some fun crafty non-sewing gifts. Lastly, A Southern Fairytale is sharing edible goodies that will be perfect this holiday season. This festive team is ready to help give you a jump start on creative Christmas ideas. Watch for a post by yours truly being posted on A Southern Fairytale next week.
And, one of our favorite gals, Kim from The TomKat Studio, is celebrating too! Because Christmas in July only comes ONCE a year, Kim is offering HALF OFF on all of her Christmas designs. Have you seen her stuff?! She is my party idol {sigh}.
TomKat Studio is offering 3 lucky HowDoesShe readers full DIY Christmas sets of BOTH of her festive printables. So, if you want them FREE, leave a comment here letting us know why you love Christmas. Then get back to sun tanning in the backyard!
***UPDATED – GIVEAWAY ENDED! Congratulations to Winners: Peta Jowett, Robin Herbert, and Nikki Tait!

Happy Christmas in July. Or is it Merry Christmas in July?! Whatever.
updates and free printables delivered straight to your inbox!
Christmas is my FAVORITE time of the year. With 6 kids (ages 2 – 13), it’s nearly impossible to afford gifts from Santa, gifts for family, teachers, and friends. I love getting crafty with Dollar Store finds (i.e. Snowman Soup, candy bar/popcorn wrappers, embellishing garage sale finds, and on, and on, and on!). I’ve already started collecting project materials! {And I’ll definitely be putting the Silhouette on Momma’s list!
} I just found your website the other day and absolutely LOVE IT!!
I love it because it’s so cozy.
With two little girls, everything about Christmas is new. It’s the joy of giving to others, the wonder of surprise, and the smells that melt away all of the stress…
I love Christmas for the memories I had as a child and the new ones being made with my 2 young children.
I love the giving!
These are so cute. I love them.
Why? Christmas is IT! Family, friends, giving, sharing, Santa, COOKIES, the smell of Christmas trees, decorating your house, Pepermint Mocha latte, pepperming martinis…heck, anything peppermint.

i love Christmas because it brings family together
I love Christmas because it always reminds me of childhood. Everyone tends to be happier! Its the only season I tend to decorate for so that always makes it better too!
I have loved Christmas since I was a kid, my mom always made it special for us. I love doing the same for my boys..
I love absolutely everything about Christmas. I love the spirit of the season and the joy of my lil kiddies faces on CHristmas morning when santa has left them the entire toy store…lol
I love Christmas because of the time spent with family! And of course the birth of Christ!

Ok who doesn’t LOVE the holidays???? Any holiday?? Ok Ok Christmas is my favorite!! I love the smells, the sights, the friends and the fantastic foods!
I Love Everything Christmas!!! Gift giving is so much fun. I even like to pull a few pranks as well. I just can’t get enough of it.
I LOVE Christmas time! I love the reason why we celebrate Christmas…the smells, sights, sounds….
It is just a magical time of the year and I love to share it with my husband and little girls
I just love how we enjoy all the family gatherings, it’s one time of year we know we are gonna see all our loved ones!!!
My favorite part about Christmas is being with my family. I’ve absolutely loved seeing Christmas come alive with my 3 girls. It’s way more fun with them and shopping for them! I love the printable’s too!
I LOVE Christmas because it is a time of hugs snuggles, loving family. A time to let creativity shine, showing friends and family you care. I could go on for days, but I love Christmas, it makes me happy!
Love, love x-mas. To go to Grandmas house and make a mess at her house with all the wrapping paper from the gifs. Grandpa makes all the toys work.
I love Christmas – well first because it is about our Savior and finally the world acknowledges him in some way!!!
And, because when it comes to decorating and celebrating and giving, there can never be too much!
I love all of it!! Especially listening to Christmas music (way too early!)
Love christmas even more after having kids!! Can’t wait!
I love that you can dress little blue birds in caps and bring joy to your friends and loved ones even in July. Thanks
I love Christmas! I love the time we get to spend with families and sharing traditions with my girls.
