Oh yeah, we forgot to watch Rudolph and Frosty's Christmas in July, have to do that this week or next weekend. Can't miss it even if July is over! Yesterday we watched Yeti. Waste of time, Lost meets And Then There Were None. I like Christmas disaster movies, but this won't be a repeat.

it is not worth the time. There are too many good Christmas or other Winter movies out there....I'll be deleting it from the hard drive. It's not the most terrible thing I have seen, but as I said, not worth a repeat. Peter DeLuise was the best thing about it.

Well, we did it. And we did it BIG!
As I said in a post earlier, our largest number of Christmas posts in one calendar month was 473 in October of 2015. For the month of July 2016, we had 707 Christmas Posts!!!

The Christmas Spirit is abundant this summer.

I don't know if I have an August activity? For me it's just that August starts bringing the first real hints of Christmas. :santagifts:

I remember years ago we might go a week without a Christmas post on this thread. And I remember the times where we would post like crazy on the days leading up to Christmas. It is so much fun seeing the flurry of activity. Checking in with your friends and seeing how we each celebrate. :treeclap:
