Christmas in July!

While everyone around the US celebrates the 4th of July this weekend, our family has Christmas in July. Since my in-laws relocated to the beach and never get to have Christmas in their beautiful home they decided to host the family for an honorary Christmas in July every year.

So, every year in July my family and my sister-in-laws fam from Seattle gather in NC and enjoy 95* in the sand and the sun and gather around the Christmas tree in the evening. Santa comes every night and the house is quite the neighborhood spectacle; my MIL decorates the outside of the house with garland, bows and red, white and blue Christmas lights. Yes, we do celebrate America too - thank you to our troops!
