So is my kitchen. DH has been making wooden bells, toy soldiers, snowcouples, and penguins. They are "visiting" the countertops until we find a place to store them 'till Christmas. LOL

Hi,

I was in several stores yesterday and they were filled with Xmas in July stuff. I was told even more will be put out in anticipation of 7/25.

I'm sure, as it gets closer to 7/25 , I'll see even more.

Preds, I understand crafting/building Xmas stuff over the summer in anticipation of December. I used to do some Xmas crafting over the summer.

Does your husband sell them or make them for you? Gifts?

I agree with all you ladies. It's just another day of cementing materialism over meaning. The almighty dollar! It's another reason I don't watch Q any more. People have lost their homes. Jobs are scarce because all this stuff is made in China.

I am glad I can check in on the forums occasionally and see what stuff they're hawking and laugh because I know I'm not spending money on junk. What greed these shoping channels exhibit, IMHO.

I wish they would stop with this silly"Christmas in July"nonsense already. Who wants to think about Christmas when July 4th holiday has not even come or gone yet. Who ever thought of this notion should have his or her head examined.

I love it! Christmas in July has been around as far back as I can remember here in the NYC met. Area. I love the goodwill during the holidays...it is a break from the same ole same ole merchandise every day ...and I look forward to opening the packages again in December because I forget what I purchase. The selections in July are better than during the season. I purchase unusual items at this time.

faerie ... having a bored DH would drive me crazier. LOL

Donna ... he makes them for us and then to keep him busy I'll tell him that DD sure would like one of those and off he goes to make something for her.

They could be large ornaments but I end up framing them and then we can hang them around the house or stand them up in holders. Honestly I don't know what I'm going to do with all of the, but I'll think of something. He is learning Intarsia and is having a ball.
