Q Talk

[Spurt]

Hello Folks! 

Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle bells-----

and with apologies to lyricist, Sammy Cahn....

"the weather outside is frightful (near 100 degrees), but the fire is so delightful (we're talking about fire on the BBQ grill that is) and since we got no place to go----there's QVC's Christmas In July Shows---OH NO OH NO OH NO!!!!"

      

Grab yourself that cup of hot chocolate and get ready for a CHRISTMAS IN JULY weekend!!!   I know y'all are sooooooooo excited.......

      

It all starts with the JOY OF TOYS!!!!!  And taking a peek at QVC's own Santa's workshop......

And what did the elves bring you ask------

   

     

Why it looks like many of the OLD favorite are scheduled to return.....nothing like the kids getting the SAME thing---year after year.....and it looks like according to QVC---can't have enough drones!!!

These elves agree.....

           

Next, it's HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS WITH DAN!!!

       

While your making those holiday cookies---tune into SATURDAY MORNING Q- HOLIDAY EDITION!

   

       

Get ready to decorate your home with HEARTFELT HOLIDAYS WITH VALERIE!!!!

      

All that decorating is making everyone thinking about the holiday feast, so get ready to purchase overpriced food with GOURMET HOLIDAY!!!

And CHRISTMAS SHOPPE merits not one, BUT TWO shows----5-6PM and 9PM-12AM......and deck those halls with SANTA'S BEST-HOLIDAY TRIM 8PM-9PM

                     

WHEW---after viewing all those holiday shows....not a creature was stirring at the end of a busy CIJ Saturday....EXCEPT for a hamster......

                                                                     ****

CHRISTMAS IN JULY continues on SUNDAY!!!!....I'd knew you'd be thrilled....

And the featured product is LUMINARA CANDLES!!!..........Which begs the question---is it flameless or is it real...

Jingle all the waaaay😁

I get excited......I'm thinking about all of the money I'm saving.  Oh!  Wait!  I did order the toy train...and...the Christmas bags.....and .......

At least I didn't order the decorating stuff!

Some people like the Christmas in July.  I say what harm does it do?  I have a friend who love, loves Christmas stuff.  I on the other hand just love her enthusiasm....

@Spurt

Thank you for making me laugh again, and again, and again!

My favorite was "Mary not being able to handle all of the excitement." was that the Holiday Inn Express?

You are HILARIOUS!!

@Spurt  Always on point as usual.

I bet Dave took those stupid spatulas off the xmas tree right after the picture was taken.

@AKgirl2 @jpie @Mz iMac  

Glad y'all liked the post and thank you all for your kind words.....

And a Very Merry Christmas (In July)

@jpie  For some odd reason Mary keeps ending up on the floor........either she's fascinated by flooring (both carpet and linoleum), OR  she got hit by a Santa's Express train perhaps the conductor was an elf that had too much eggnog-LOL

[jpie]

@Spurt

Eggnog (but only if it's on a ITKWD sement)!

LOL, another great preview @Spurt I smiled at the photos all the way thru and I LOVE your lyrics!  Cats in the trees, cats in the trees!  I have a faux tree I bought some years ago (works fine, see no reason to buy a new one, not even to get the vaunted power pole).  You would think I could put the tree up at thanksgiving and leave it up, well, no.  Because my girls have a time limit on it before they just can't resist trying to climb it or chew on it!  Argh!  Last year I took it down on New Year's Eve because Lily was standing on her hind legs chewing on a faux branch.  At that point, I gave up and removed the offending tree (I had tried removing the offending cat or at least distracting her but she thought the game of being picked up and put somewhere else was lots of fun! Me, not so much.

The really good news though -- I have plans for both days, so the CIJ shows won't call my name.  Since I don't need anything and the toys are all holy moley are we going to see that AGAIN! I'll pass.

Although the luminara's might get me to watch - at least with 1 eye open.  Have a great week and weekend, all, and thanks again, Spurt

@Annabellethecat66  HI ANNABELLE!!! 

Actually I LOVE Christmas (I even put up my Christmas stufff a tad earlier than most folks--(mid November) -because I decorate so much and it takes so much time and effort I want to make it worth my while).......

And it makes a lot of sense for some that like to budget so they don't get the in-debt blues after the holidays....A friend of mine has 4 kids and 6 grandkids so she likes to start shopping early and spread out her purchases that way it has little impact on her budget and everything is all done early so she can really enjoy the holidays!

I USED TO enjoy QVC's Christmas In July it was a nice break from all the summer stuff and provided some diversity in merchandise (besides I'm not a summer person).....However, it used to be restricted to July 25th or perhaps ONE weekend in July ..... not it strts the 1st of July and runs up until December 24th....There is nothing unique and interesting like they used to show in the past (stuff you didn't see in local stores), now the merchandise has been the same stuff year after year after year---the flashpad, blisslights, the glow in the dark track, magnetic blocks etc etc.....even the decorating shows which I love are disappointing it's the same mercury spheres, mercury finials, mercury trees, gingerbread houses, crystal garlands. And then there's my "favorite" (SARCASM) the host favorite shows where amazingly they ALL pick the SAME products---WOW!!!---what a coincidence.  

To some it up--- QVC's Christmas In July brings little joy and more repetitiveness--as someone else said it so well on the HOLIDAY part of the Forum---I'M UNDERWHELMED!!!
