Scaredy Cat was invited over to his friend Bob's house for what he thought was just to hang out and maybe watch a cool movie while eating popcorn. The moment he walked through the door, his eyes grew large as he was thrown into the middle of a Christmas scene. Christmas? Why is it Christmas here? He was a bit confused. It's July - it's not even close to being Christmastime! Bob grabs a gift bag and as he thrusts it towards Scaredy Cat, he asks, "Haven't you heard of 'Christmas in July'? That's what this is! It's not something that is officially celebrated, but there are many people all over who are so into the holiday that they will have Christmas in July parties and other forms of celebrations and acknowledgements.". Scaredy Cat has never heard of such a thing. But hey - if Bob thinks it's cool and worth doing something about - maybe this isn't such a bad thing after all. To think - it's another way to have something to celebrate - right?
It's Christmas in July everyone!! While in some parts of the world, the seasons might be quite fitting, in others (like where Scaredy Cat's hooman lives), the temperatures are high enough that you could almost cook a Christmas pudding outdoors!! As we get closer to a new month, let's finish out July with a bang! Pull out your holiday decorations from storage and let's all get into that festive mood! Find that little tree that you've had since you were just a wee pet. Hang up that favorite stocking that Grandma knitted for you. Check to see if you can find some candy canes at the dollar store! And let's not forget to put on your CD with all those wonderful songs that will be sure to make it really seem like Christmas!!
