a mellow yellow christmas in july
there is something about the idea of christmas in july that I always find very appealing - not that I actually celebrate it. I just like the idea of giving during this time of year. many people are just as poor in july as they are during the holiday season yet understandably so, our attention is often turned to other things during the summer. note to self - donate to my local food pantry!

So few people seem to know about that dear island!
We were there in August 2009 - rented a cottage with family - my Hubby's family always summered there.
It's so great without too much crazy hubbub like on other summer islands around New England.
WIll you get there this summer?
We're transplanted to South Florida!
AM YOUR NEWEST FOLLOWER, too visiting from the mellow hop!
Happy Monday-
Linda

Alexa, you're so sweet.

Hi Therese, I've heard that food pantries are low in the Summer, I think that may be how Christmas in July got started, due to that shortage. I wish I could remember where I first heard of it.
