Christmas in July?

Or have we all been transported to the south somewhere? It is currently 41 degrees at my house. Yesterday I had 5 windows open in the house. And Sunday we had a high of 57 degrees! What is going on?? No wonder I don't feel like it's Christmas! Its like the Heat Miser has gained control for a year. Now, I realize if I was bundling my baby up in the snow or slipping on the ice in the driveway I'd be complaining about that too. But come on, forget White Christmas, it's supposed to be 50 degrees on the 25th! Just weird. Just wrong. This is New England, not North Carolina.

And while I'm ranting, I think those blow up lawn decorations look weird when not inflated. Like someone deflated Santa and left his shell in a heap on their lawn. Or that people just have a bunch of crap scattered on their front lawn. Just seems odd to me.

I know, it totally sucks. Its not even a brown Christmas, everythnigs still green! But think of it this way. Your kids getting thier "big gift" this year- they will actually be able to use it as soon as they get it. Same thing happened when Z got his. So thats a good thing!

Yeah I think that is what's weird, it's still green. So it feels like it isn't that late in the year yet. Like everyone is getting ready for Christmas but its just past my birthday. At least if it were brown we'd know it was winter.

But you're right. Its a good year for the kids to enjoy their gift. I am thankful for that.

I agree with you on the inflatable Christmas decorations. I've seen too many deflated Santa's and it just looks like drunk, passed out Santa on the lawn. Kinda scary actually!
