Countdown to Christmas In July!

TenderMercies — Sat, 02 Jun 2018 19:07:25 GMT

Holiday Friends!

Just 4 weeks from today we will be just hours away from the kickoff of Chirstmas In July!! Is there one particular type of item you're looking for this year? Do you plan on spending more or less than usual? Personally, I'm hoping the Scott Brothers offer a companion piece of a sitting deer to the standing one (H211535) they presented last CIJ. Here is the schedule for Sunday, July 1. All times are Easter Standard.

12:00AM - 1:00AM - 31st Annual CIJ Sale - Super-sized

1:00AM - 3:00AM - House to Home by Valerie

3:00AM - 6:00AM - The Joy of Christmas

6:00AM - 7:00AM - Jim Shore Heartwood Creek

7:00AM - 8:00AM - Holidays Aglow - Decorative Lights

8:00AM - 10:00AM - Holidays with Mary

10:00AM - 12:00PM - Sundays with Carolyn & Dan

12:00PM - 2:00PM - In the Kitchen with David

2:00PM - 4:00PM - David's Great Big Christmas

4:00PM - 6:00PM - Gourmet Holiday

6:00PM - 7:00PM - House to Home by Valerie

7:00PM - 9:00PM - Deck the Halls

9:00PM - 10:00PM - Catherine Zeta Jones Holiday

10:00PM - 12:00PM - 31st Annual CIJ Sale

How exciting that Mary and CZJ will be doing shows! Hopefully we'll have a greater variety of styles this year.

The shows in the lineup look good. I'm not really looking for anything specific. Have to see what the TSV and specials are. 🎄🎅

@TenderMercies How did you get the line-up? I don't see it on the program guide. I am so excited and will be looking for anything new.

I am really looking forward to Christmas in July this year. The Catherine Zeta-Jones items are of particular interest to me since we are having guests this year and her bedding is so lovely.

I will be doing more entertaining and less decorating this year.....going to keep that simple and invest my time in the food and table settings.

@Regal Bee I like her things too! And, her prices are not over the top.

I guess David's Great Big Christmas is going to be more oversized decorations. I miss the nostalgic items he presented a few years ago. I bought several of those ceramic NOEL candle holders for myself and family.

@PA Mom-mom I feel like people have been talking about wanting to see nostalgic decor again for years. Maybe it will finally happen this year. Since Kringle Express is QVC’s own holiday decor brand, it would make sense for them to craft some of these items.

I so agree. I am going back to much more simple decor this year. I also miss the nostalgic decor. I have already laid out our holiday design plan and I am so excited about it.

Okay, I am laughing at myself but how much fun is this????????

I’m hoping to buy only one thing, if it even exists.

I bought the nativity two years ago with the Connemara marble base.

Last year they offered the wise men and I bought those.

I’m hoping they offer a set of animals.

I wonder if Martha Stewart will be bringing holiday decor. She usually has a line at Home Depot, so maybe not.

@TenderMercies I think I spent less last year, but I still spent plenty, lol, so hopefully this year I can use some sense, so out of room.

Though I didn't buy the Scott Brothers' deer, I have a pair of very large, heavy bronze, one standing and looking alert, the other grazing, a resting deer to go with the standing would look great.

I should pull all Christmas decor out of storage and sit in the middle of it during the shows. If that doesn't cure me of buying, I am utterly hopeless, lol.

@mousiegirl I have a different quandry this year which is that I might be moving to a larger home at some point in the Fall. I really don't have room for any more Christmas decor in my current one, but if I move into something considerably larger, I may not have enough. I should probably cool it this year and just go all out next year if I need to.

@TenderMercies Unless you see something you can't live without, lol. I may be moving at some point, and have the opposite problem, unless I move to the boonies, lol. A larger home sounds wonderful.

I look forward to it every year. I need to know what day it will land on, just in case I need to take a vacation day from work. I am not a summer person, the Christmas in July makes me feel cool, happy and excited for the Christmas Season.

I need NO MORE decorations as I have no place to store them or, being honest, place them. But I LOVE Christmas in July as I HATE the heat and summer in general; it's a reminder that cooler weather will be here in a few months and it's just....nice to watch. I don't know...people seem happier...more smiles, lol.

Last year, during Davids Big Christmas, he featured a HUGE Nutcracker that had a few lights on it. We purchased it for my MIL who collects them and let me tell ya, it was the BEST gift ever for her!!! It IS big, it's classic, it's well made, the lights are just enough and everyone who saw it just oohed and ahhhed over it. I'm hoping they offer them again this year or maybe a snowman (I collect them and would make an exception for adding it to my decor, lololol).

@SahmIam

I received that large nutcracker/soldier in the gold and white version.

It is indeed large! And very nice.

I had asked for it, with the intention of putting it outside on my covered front porch but realized after getting it, that it was much to light to withstand the kinds of winds we get way out here in the country.

It worked out because I decorate the living room in those colors and have a couple of other similar colored soldiers. It just kind of tied everything all together.

My dear forum friends, I hope you all enjoy Christmas in July.I’m trying desperately to hold on to Summer for as long as I can.It’s too short here in the northeast.I won’t be thinking about Christmas until Thanksgiving.Therefore, I’ll pass on the Christmas in July shows.

It's been incredibly HOT in the Mid-South and Southwest..........

Personally, I can't even think about Christmas right now.

Christmas in July is the most wonderful time of the year on QVC and I soooo look forward to it each year. Valerie, Jim Shore and Flameless Candles are my top 3. Enjoy everyone who loves these shows.
