30 Christmas in July Party Ideas
Christmas in July is NOT for the faint of heart. It’s not subtle, it’s not classy, this is not the time to break out the good China and join hands around the piano. No. Christmas in July is all about celebrating Santa and snow and all things winter at a time when it might otherwise seem impossible to get cool. And that’s what it is. Christmas in July is cool. I might be partial on account my birthday is July 25th and my favorite way to celebrate is by having Christmas in July parties, but you’ll never catch me saying that out loud. Have fun at your Christmas in July parties!
