Christmas in July 2017: RECAP


Did you check out all the responses by our Christmas in July participants?  In case you were late to the party this summer, here's your chance to catch up. Below is a complete list of links to each of our guests who participated in July. It goes by quickly, doesn't it?

If you're the curious sort, you may be interested to note that Edmund Gwenn, the actor who played Kris Kringle in the 1947 movie Miracle on 34th Street was overwhelming chosen as Favorite Santa Claus. And, White Christmas and A Charlie Brown Christmas were programs that participants most wanted to bring with them to a deserted island.

Thanks to everyone who participated in Christmas in July and to all who left comments. If you would still like to leave comments, please feel free to do so--the discussions don't have to end just because July is over.

  1. This is wonderful, Joanna! I love how you give us this wonderful recap with links to everyone's post. I tried to read along each day, but I know I missed a few in between that I must go back and check out!

    It always amazes me that you receive just about the right amount to finish up around the end of July!

    Also, so glad you provided the links for previous years! I'm so honored to have been a small part of this each year and it's great fun to go back and read some of our responses then!

    Christmas is right around the corner now!!!
    Blessings to You All, Net

  3. Oho! And my co-worker just texted me that our Costco put out their big display of Christmas ribbon today! (Not quite the earliest it's ever happened, believe it or not!)
