Firstly….please don’t hate me!
CHRISTMAS IN JULY….BOOKISH STYLE!
I’m a certified Christmas nut! I mean it’s the most magical time of the year and whilst I dont put deccies up or swap gifts etc in July, I want to remember the magic…..but put a Summer twist on it!
Here are the things I found I could do…
and you could too!
Book Wreath
Some call it sacrilege, some call it beauty…..but wreaths are Christmas-y so I want to put one up. In fact I’d love to learn how to make these!

Santa strawberries
Strawberries are THE summer fruit so bring a little bit of Christmas back and munch whilst reading your books!
Egg nog coladas
Ok this sounds gross, egg nog is gross. But I want a summermas drink to quaff whilst reading my book in the garden!
I found a recipe by Brit Morin here!
Book Tree
Build a book tree and add lights!
Books aren’t just for Christmas, they are for LIFE! So build that book tree, string on those lights and gaze at the beauty!

Do you celebrate Christmas in July?
Do you watch Christmas films or read Christmas themed books?
Love this! I’m one of those people who loves egg nog so that drink sounds delicious to me. Now just to find egg nog in July…
