Does anyone look for "Christmas in July" specials?
Online I do since there's no Christmas in July in Greece :rudolph:
About the only stores that sell Christmas in July items here are charity shops. But I enjoy looking. I found 10 nice stained glass poinsetta ornaments and lovely foil wrapping paper last year.
Just watch QVC's specials
Glued to the tv watching QVC Christmas in July and usually order several things
Is July the official kick-off for QVC for Christmas items? I know that the last half of the year on the 25th of each month (Rudolph Day :elf1:) they will often have some seasonal items. Does that officially start in July?
Yes HollyJolly, I believe so. I don't watch QVC until Christmas in July and then every 25th thereafter!
Thanks for the info! I will definitely mark my calendar! It will be here before we know it! :yahoo:

Me, too! Me, too! I will have to make my way over there soon! LOVE IT!!! :yahoo:
We don't have Hobby Lobby stores near us. We have AC Moore, Michael's and Joann's craft stores. I have to go take a look and see what's out!
We also don't have a Hobby Lobby here. I was at Michaels the other day and didnt see anything Christmassy.
Maybe AC Moore, I'll check soon!
I went to Hobby Lobby yesterday and didn't see anything for Christmas. But they did have one row with fall stuff...I love that, too! But, I will keep checking!
I'm starting a series of posts in my blog for Christmas in July. Here's the first one on funky Christmas trees: http://kriskringleforsingles.blogspo...mas-trees.html
Christmas In July will be here before we know it!! The past couple years, I like to check out what QVC is offering, but I haven't pulled the trigger on anything.
I love watching it - mainly to get new ideas. I haven't purchased anything in years - but you never know. I'm always tempted to get some of the specialty food items to give as gifts!Quote:

Agreed, but I'm always happy with my own inexpensive tree - I have so many ornaments - no one actually sees the tree itself!Quote:

We have a really high-quality artificial tree that we used 1 year before we had any kids. That year I moved a piece of furniture into the spare room in order to make room for it. Since we had kids, that room is no longer "spare". Hence, we had to get a "slim" tree because our good one was just too big. We've used the (cheap) slim one ever since. Just another reason I really want to move to a bigger house!!Quote:

We used to set the tree in front of the back patio doors, but too much furniture to move, and the front corner window is just the ideal spot. I like full trees as well. We hope to move in the next year or so, which means we'll be starting some new traditions and ending some old ones as well.
Do you want to move out of Sloatsburg? It sure seems like a nice little community.
Sloatsburg is a great little community - except that it is soooooo.... expensive to live here in the NYC suburbs. Property taxes are sinfully high, utility rates are among the highest in the nation, and so on. My kids are grown, so we don't have to worry about the school system any longer. I am on Social Security Disability and my husband works from home, so we aren't tied to this area any more - in fact, it is stupid of us to keep spending the extra money. I will definitely miss it - but it should be worth it!
Anybody going anything Christmassy for the 4th of July? LOL
We did not. I hung some red,white and blue rope lights a few years back, but realized that in the Summer, it doesn't get dark until 10pm anyway, so it was kind of a waste. :(
I'm going to the Hallmark ornament premiere tomorrow morning at our local Hallmark store. Looking forward to picking up three of my ornaments. I won't have much time because I have to get to a double graduation party for my niece and nephew (1 college and 1 high school). Hope it's not too crowded - should be fun.
My husband asks me today "So are you putting up the tree for Christmas in July???" Whaaaa? "Just thought you'd want to make up for not being able to decorate last December, due to the move" No, I'm not that obsessed!
Tomorrow starts Christmas in July on QVC! So excited! Then next weekend it's the ornament premiere at Hallmark and all-day Christmas movies on the Hallmark Channel. I need to have my last two laser eye surgeries on the 1st and 8th - so hope my vision isn't too cloudy to enjoy watching tv!
At least for me, I find this to be the best time of the year that people get rid of Christmas/holiday decorations really cheap at rummage sales and swap meets. Everyone wants out with the old and in with the new. Especially with the heat out they just want the stuff gone. :)
Christmas in July the 25th all day christmas and yes i'll be enjoying it all.:elf3:
I have not in the past, but this year I will be making a Christmas in July yard decoration. I am even considering sending a few CIJ cards... :yahoo:
