I've never had a sunroom either. I would love a place to grow a lot of plants! Nevermind being able to get rays of sun in the winter! :holiday:

Yes. My father hates the beach, so all growing...

Heat waves- I think it's the contrast. :dizzy:

'Tis August and 146 days left to go! :cool:

Sewing your own Christmas stocking

Did the Victorian meal have a lot of courses?

I wish- every hotel was booked up and everyone else had lost power also (including NY). At least misery loves company- we were all in the same boat....

Decorated pine (usually with pinecones or ice on them, but I wouldn't be averse to having balls or other ornaments on them either). You?

When you decorate for Christmas In July, do you prefer...

Ha! I was just going to say that!

It sounds like a good time. I'm glad you pace yourself.

Is there anyone who comes that doesn't normally celebrate Christmas in their culture?

Oh, how I love beautiful sunrises- all pink and orange, especially in the summer! :smitten: Unfortunately, we hardly ever have them- we never seem to have the right cloud formations/atmospheric...

Yes, and it doesn't sound like the Modern's 'patient' one fits you. :santahat:

Using the brightly colored glassware and glass dishes.

How happy they'll look. :elf3:

I don't have a/c in my bedroom (don't usually want it), so my windows are open all season. This past heat wave was 87 in there during the night- not the easiest. :santahat:

I saw that a lot of people left ATC unhappy. The first year after that I sent them all out, but I was getting the impression that people didn't really want to continue, so last year I stopped. I...

Hmmm...not sure about with the windows rolled down...I've had enough complaints over the years that I "ruin Christmastime" by getting them sick of hearing it during the rest of the year. But I do...

Tink! Long time no see! Hope you're doing okay! :waving:

I have always liked to think about/plan Christmas in the hot summer. Last year was the first time that I watched anything about Christmas (QVC CIJ). I have never decorated, though. I do think...

That's nice of you to do for everyone. It sounds like a lot of work! Do you start a few days before? How many people do you typically have? When you first started doing these dinners, did you...

Yes, I am grateful for air conditioning. I do like to be out in the heat, but the high humidity with the high temps is rough. I sometimes wonder what we would do if the grid went down and we had no...

I had to look those up. :santahat:
My mother bought pouches of military emergency food years ago, that you would activate, either with water or shaking it, I think. I don't remember them being...

Fun!:hopxmas:

Nothing yet, but I plan to finally get on to QVC Christmas In July!

Judy Garland? Maybe not...I believe Sinatra changed the lyrics because the original version was too depressing, and I don't think Garland had the depressing version...

Yay! You should have a lot of fun this year!
Good idea about the non-perishable items...

We just scaled down. We were trying to keep it as normal as possible. I think the food tastes better with all the people there and a celebratory atmosphere.

Glad you enjoyed yours so much- what...

Happy. I love summer weather.
