Christmas in July (VIDEOS)
For the first time I decided to surprise the kids with Christmas in July. Traditionally it is celebrated on July 25. When we went to Gatlinburg, there were so many Christmas shops and hotels; got us all excited for the season;)
Tidbit history….
“ Christmas in July is a mid-summer festive celebration featuring themes of gift-giving, decorated trees, and seasonal movies, most notably traced back to a 1933 event at Keystone Camp in Brevard, North Carolina. Started in July 1933 at an all-girls camp in North Carolina with cotton fake snow, a tree, and Santa Claus.Popularized in US pop culture by the 1940 Paramount Pictures comedy film Christmas in July.”
Jason visit to CA
Jason had the opportunity to go to CA for a week and a half to visit and assist with a few things on the property. He loves building and fixing things; a trait he got from his Dad;) He was so happy to be able to visit and get a few things done for Mom. So thankful for talents and family;)
Huge thanks for our CA family for taking care of him while on his visit;) He enjoyed seeing everyone;)
