UPDATE: I'm seeing CHRISTMAS movies on the Hallmark Channel schedule - beyond July 22nd!
Joy to the World!!! Net
Oh, I'm definitely feeling the Christmas spirit again, Jim! I usually put out a little something Christmassy in my home. I do love the glow of Christmas lights... always makes the room seem like it's glowing and alive again! It was Linda who got into the spirit last year, too, and joined in the decorating, but others may have done something special, too! I can hardly believe it's almost here!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas in June & July!!! Blessings, Net
I'm so excited too! I have a few things that sit out year round but this year I'm putting out a snowman that was new to us last Christmas. He stands about 24 in tall and glows with changing lights. He will be placed near the TV so I can see him while enjoying the Christmas in July event. He's quite the show piece! I have a very large collection of snowmen!
ReplyDeleteJoyce and Jim, I love this! I'm always so taken by Snowmen and Snow-globes! Anything, basically, that lights up and plays Christmas music, too, is the best! What a perfect way to celebrate Christmas in June/July!!! :)
DeleteBlessings!!! Net
Jim,
DeleteHappy to help my friend! And you have reminded me of a snow globe I have that plays music as well. Thanks!
And Net...you would love my snowman collection!
Happy "Christmas In July" to you both and to all of our friends here IAWM!!
Jim, our Lord is the Light and we celebrate by decorating and giving gifts one to another. It brings joy and happiness to all of us who believe. You're not alone in your sadness in having to put away Christmas treasures for yet another year. Some feel sadness and remorse that the world has given us a "cut off date". Not so for me and my family....I have many outdoor low voltage pathway lights that gives me that safe, soft, love glow that lifts me every time I gaze out of my windows all year round! I have some soft Christmas type wall lighting indoors that I will never take down because they make me happy. So, decorate, sweet Jim, and be glad in it!!
DeleteJoyce, I love that you got your snow globe out, too! I'm sure I would just love your snowman collection, it sounds lovely. We have the Jan Karon 'Mitford' snowmen ornaments that came out many years ago from Hallmark. I still cherish those!
DeleteBlessings, Net
Linda, How beautiful, as always! Your words expressed exactly what my heart feels! Thank you for sharing the true Light of Christmas! It isn't about July or December, it's about Jesus and the joy he fills our hearts with!
DeleteBlessings, Net
Jim, When Christmas comes to an end, I always think of you and keep you in my prayers. You are a very special part of this amazing, beautiful "It's a Wonderful Movie" family!
DeleteI am always deeply blessed by Linda's comments, as well... I'm so glad you feel the same! We have a common bond here in our enjoyment of movies, but more importantly, in our faith. Each day is a gift from God! It wasn't by happenstance that all of our paths came here together.
Blessings, Net
Jim, I do believe your venture on the "Damascus Rd." is coming to an end! Go up to the top of this page, click on "Christmas Story" and "peruse". Tears fall from my eyes every time I visit. It's so perfectly penned by Net and my favorite post. Find a quiet place, repeat the "Sinners Prayer" and see what happens....Peace, dear friend...
DeleteThank you, Jim and Linda... words cannot express. I'm overwhelmed and overcome by your gracious words of kindness and encouragement. The "Christmas Story" post has always been my guiding light, my inner source, my focus... when things get too busy. Christmas shouldn't be about all the rush, stress, and exhaustion. Instead, of just preparing our homes with lights, we should prepare our hearts with His light! Thank you, Linda, for letting me know how much the "Christmas Story" post touches you. I pray it blesses you, as well, Jim!
DeleteBlessings to you both and all who read these words! Net
Hey, Jim and Net, I've got my beautiful white wreath all ready to go. All I have to do is plug it in!! Merry Christmas in June/July you two!! Yipee!!
ReplyDeleteAwe, I'm so glad you feel the same, Jim! In our home, we love lights! When the Christmas lights come down inside (around the same time yours do, too!), they are typically replaced with another type of light... a lamp, novelty lights, or lanterns. We love lanterns! They add such a beautiful warmth to the room.
ReplyDeleteLet me suggest two light features I really love...
The first is a Tabletop White Lantern Candleholder and the other (my favorite!) is a Hallmark Metal House LED Lantern Candle Holder!
We do our best to keep the Light of Jesus in our Hearts and in our Home all throughout the Year!!! :)
Blessings!!! Net
we have a Charlie Brown Christmas tree and are contemplating putting it up. Yeah Christmas!!! RG
ReplyDeleteOh, good grief! That sounds perfect, RG! All Charlie Brown's tree needs is a little love!
DeleteSo sweet! Blessings, Net
I love Christmas time and also Fall. I have something to admit...... I just the other day had to throw away my pumpkins from October, I love pumpkins so much cause they are orange (my favorite color) and I just think they are beautiful, so before Christmas décor, I moved them and my straw over under some trees in the shade, so every time I walked out my door, I could see my beautiful pumpkins. But the Florida heat, they started falling apart so I had to throw them away. I feel pumpkins should be around all year.
ReplyDeleteI was at Hobby Lobby recently, and guess what???? They have some fall stuff and also Christmas stuff out. I got some orange plastic forks, and also some cute little pumpkin zip lock bags for all kinds of fall goodies. I am trying to be early with the pie boxes, I missed them last year but luckily I had so many left over from 2016. I am just a sucker for themed candy bags, cupcake boxes, pie boxes, napkins, paper plates, plastic forks. Hobby Lobby is the best :) And I have tons of Fall and Thanksgiving napkins from walmart last year that I got for like $0.30.
