Christmas in July!!!!!

Ok, I admit it, the heat is getting to me! I realize do deserve a slap in the head because it is much warmer where some of our others members live, but I am a huge wuss when it comes to heat and humidity!

I propose a Christmas in July party where we can all gather around the fire and enjoy the eggnog and snow.





Whew, I feel cooler already.

We put the Christmas tree up



The gnome is on its way to Australia,



So what are you all going to bring for our virtual TCS Christmas dinner?

I can bring lots of desserts! Chocolate cream cheese brownies, cheesecake, and carrot cake.

What did you ask Santa for this year?

I would like an MP3 player.

Well Jason and I will bring Egg Nog, Deviled Eggs (YUM).....Baked Kibbie with cream cheese filling, and our chocolate covered pretzels that we make!!


This year I am going to ask santa for another kitty, but Jason will be the one I need to convince!!

I'll make some green bean casserole, and some mashed potatoes with gravy.

Now from Santa:
I would like a Nintendo Wii please!

I've always loved Christmas in July!

Christmas in July!!

I'll bring the crackers (those things you get the silly hats with)

and I'd love a dining room table from Santa...we are still sitting infront of the TV to eat dinner.

Great idea, Karen, 'cause right now I'd like to throw myself into a pile of snow to cool off!

I'll bring the sausage con queso and tortilla chips that I always have to make for Xmas Eve at my folks' house.

And, just because there's still several months of grass cutting season left, I'd like to ask Santa for a new lawn mower. Mine is on its last legs!

I can bring the relish tray and some snacks like chex mix and stuff like that.

I would like a dyson animal vacume.

I'll bring lots of homemade soup.

I would like Santa to bring me some snow NOW.

Turkey and stuffing I love stuffing!

Eileen, I will have to let Santa know that lawn mowers are getting marked down at Home Depot and Lowe's. We will be looking ourselves.

I am bringing candied Yams...my favorite!

Well this makes me feel better that I spent too much money on myself today. YES! duh..Christmas in July..Presents!
Well I'll be bringing some margarita's because I dont want the cold weather. & maybe some Ice Tea. Am I kicked out already?

firstly - I want no cold weather here thankyou very much. Its already winter and cold enough as it is... send that heat my way everyone!!

and as a matter of fact this gnome was spared the annual gnome burning ritual. Him & I have become friends and he is protecting the house from any further gnome attacks. He was infact quite a well known gnome back in the US and has lots of contacts

Merry Christmas!

I'm bringing my favorite holiday dish: Broccoli Puff! And I made mine extra cheesey!

For Christmas this year I'd like a house! And I'm not talking a doll house or a dog house or a house of cards either!

Karen said the "g" word!

Since the blizzards of the late 1970s (I did all the snow shoveling) I have never once wished for snow in summer. But - since this is virtual - and there is a gnome involved - I'll bring my mom's cranberry nut relish (and regular jellied cranberry sauce for me). And minty hot chocolate to sip by the fire.

And I would like my own TV and DVD/VCR so I won't bother mom when I want to watch the same movie over and over and over...
