I absolutely love Christmas and enjoy celebrating the Reason for the Season every day of the year. I even keep my nativity up year round and look at it often to nudge my Joy-mometer when I am having a tough day. :)Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00556483441941424393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4407284968559018199.post-39354910393731864102009-07-16T15:44:58.673-05:002009-07-16T15:44:58.673-05:00Keelie- I am not superwoman.

The first year we were married she put the tree up in the first part of October! Now that we have more space she has expanded her Christmas decor by adding additional trees in other rooms, and I heard her say recently something about having a tree that is up all year, that is decorated for whatever the current season is.<br /><br />Mele Kalikimaka!Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04039644024813043560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4407284968559018199.post-71196964887047279742009-07-16T07:53:26.186-05:002009-07-16T07:53:26.186-05:00Wow!

I love you so muc...You have got to be kidding me... I love you so much because I was JUST, and I mean just like two seconds ago, writing a post for another date while I'm going camping in which I mention my absolute LOVE for all things Christmas, in which I also casually admit that I think about Christmas in JULY because I just frankly can not help myself. Can. NOT. <br /><br />Also, I have spent the past two days (I kid you not- TWO, count them...) planning where on earth my tree is going to go, and it almost kept me up at night- let me back up and explain... I have new furniture in my house. Not brand new, like just bought, but new since after the holidays last year. Which means, that now I have a new arrangement to work around for the upcoming Christmas. It's stressing me out, because I just do not know where the Christmas Tree is going to fit now. No idea. My family thinks I am crazy because this is the type of thing on my mind in July. I know I'm not crazy, so perhaps I'll just fax you my floorplan, and the two of us can puzzle this one out. (grin)<br /><br />I also heartily agree that celebrating in July is a fantastic idea. I mean, we are supposed to keep the Christmas Spirit and Jesus's love in our hearts all year long, not just at Christmas time right? <br /><br />Oh- And I also just figured out what I am going to be presenting as Christmas gifts to my family members (my parents and brother and his wife) Little Christmas morning breakfast baskets!! With homemade pancake mixes in a jar, good maple syrup, some yummy hot cocoa bags, and some chocolate maple candies that I want to make... See? Not crazy. Just well planned out. <br /><br />Now I see that I've written you a book... I'm sorry, but I just sensed a kindred spirit who would truly appreciate my Christmas love.<br /><br />SashaLemonade Makin' Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16404173701815078504noreply@blogger.com
