I've heard about "Christmas in July" but never really got the point. Until today when a friend mentioned that her family was going to watch a Christmas movie and drink cocoa while turning the A/C down a bit cooler in her house. I loved that idea!
.
So after dinner, the kids raced to get in their PJs, I made hot chocolate with marshmallows and we all watched The Grinch together. It was fun to do something sporadic and unseasonal; everyone loved it. I mean seriously...it was 108 degrees outside and we're drinking cocoa and watching people in the movie who were bundled up and in the snow.
.
There's one more day of July if you want to borrow this idea for tomorrow night! Maybe you can even make Christmas cookies to snack on...

If you have other Christmas in July ideas or traditions, be sure to leave a comment.

I do our "Christmas" letters in July, it's waaay to busy during the holiday season, and I have lot's more time during the summer, when there is nothing else to do but sit inside in the AC!! ;) Plus then the readers of the letter aren't bogged down with all the other letters of the season, they can just sit and read mine!!
I thought the point of 'christmas in july' was to start planning your christmas gifts, making homemade ones, starting your christmas letter, etc...
but i love this idea!!
