Day 71 Give It A 100 Christmas In July

Christmas ornaments come out at Hallmark in July. I bought a JR Ornament this year. Over the years, I have bought Crayola, Barbie, Gone With The Wind ones for my mother, Survivor, Christmas Vacation, "Twilight" Bella, Edward, Jacob, Elsa, Anna, Cinderella, Star Wars, Wizard Of Oz, rocking horse, polar bears, the old toys, Mickey Mouse, dogs, cats, Winnie The Pooh and I bought Harry Potter ones for my daughter-in-law. I have bought Rudolph, Chatty Cathy, Madame Alexander, American girls, teddy bears, Star Trek ones for my husband. My husband says I have enough ornaments for two trees but we aren't getting two trees.

We go to the Christmas Store in Frankenmuth, Michigan and I get Victorian ones, Holland ones, {they are blue and white}, purple ones, Irish ones, cats and I bought a purple light up optic angel and there are so many to choose from. I decorate my tree in lavender and purple. I have a white Christmas tree. I love the snow effect. I love putting all kind of things on my tree. I have memories of each year. Our Christmas guest list is shorter and shorter. My grandparents died. So did my husband's father. So did my daughter-in-law's father. My son and his wife moved to Minnesota. I cherish each year and all my ornaments.

I am thinking of Christmas in July. It will be here before we know it. I will finish enjoying my summer.
