Christmas in July

Firecracker — Sat, 29 Apr 2017 00:23:37 GMT

Does anyone know which week-end in July will Christmas in July happen this year. I have a daughter flying in from the midwest and I wanted to buy her ticket for it. We always have a big family sleep-over for this.

thanks*

A couple weeks ago on Valeries Facebook page she said the dates weren't finalized. She will post when she knows. You may want to keep an eye on her Facebook page or likely someone will post in the holiday forum.

@Firecracker

The dates are not official at this time, and are subject to change but given past history it will probably be around the 14th, 15th and 16th of July...hope that helps!

@Firecracker My daughter and I used to have Christmas in July sleepovers when she lived at home also, we stayed up all night, and sang Christmas carols and munched all night long, they were some very happy memories!

I love CIJ!

When my son was little, we would pitch his indoor tent in the family room (I think my mom got it here!), fill it with blankets and stuffed animals. We'd bake some cookies and make hot chocolate, and stay awake all night inside the tent (facing the TV so we could watch out the door!!). He especially loved the toy shows.

And by stay awake 'all night' I mean we'd both conk out by 11! But we'd spend the next day in our pj's and watching from the tent as well.

Back at that time, Valerie would use the term ' darling' to describe just about everything she presented. I used to tell him to pay attention, and count up how many times she said it, and I'd give him a nickle for each one! He had fun doing that, and it helped keep him quiet and interested while she was on, so I could focus on her presentations!

@Mominohio In my case my daughter grew up and the tradition stopped, now I do it alone and sing Chirstmas carols and munch by myself,

I buy some Christmas decorations during the Christmas in July shows. The prices are lower, and there are more choices.

People who want the best selection of decor merchandise for the season know this is the time to watch and buy. Every year, we have the "I will never buy Christmas things in the middle of summer" crowd come back in late November crying about the lack of interesting Christmas items. IT is what it is, the selection and great pricing are in July, so that is when it will be snatched up.

Most of the CIJ shopping isn't about the gifts you will be giving, but the things you will be decorating with, wrapping with, cooking with. Sure, some gifting too, but if you really know the people you are buying for, you know exactly what they will love, and you know it in July as well as you will know it in December.

Nothing ABSURD about it.

I'm not sure i'd use 'absurd' but I am with you.

Why always live in the future? We haven't even enjoyed spring yet. Today is a wonderful day and I plan to enjoy it. I don't watch any Christmas sales shows until Thanksgiving. Besides, I haven't seen a truly new holiday product from Q in a decade.

Probably because you waited so late to watch! LOL

Someone on a Christmas board posted July 1st....QVC will kick off Christmas in July. It will start with Valerie. The entire day will be Christmas in July. I can not say this sure. I can only say, I read it. I am hoping it is true.

It is very easy just to check the Program Guide yourself.

Something very troubling is that they're calling it the "30th Annual Christmas in July Sale" when it is in fact the 31st annual event.

My sister & I are adults with our own homes, but we always go to Mom's for the CIJ weekend. We stay up late & wake up early to catch as much as possible. (Mom sleeps a little more than we do, but she says it makes her happy just to hear us giggling together like we did when we were small .) We cook a little, but we mostly bring in party foods & bakery desserts so we can devote our energy to shopping. Even one of the neighbors spends some time with us! We always find things we "need", but even if we didn't we would have fun just being together & dreaming of the holidays before all the madness & stress. Thanks, QVC, for providing a fun opportunity for us to make some extra holiday family memories.

This is sooo neat! I'm so glad you can have some Mom/daughter/sister time together. Sounds like great fun even if you don't buy anything !
