Happy Belated Christmas

Happy Belated Christmas In July, everybody! Kimberly had the idea to celebrate this, but it's past the 21st! :( Oh well! To create more holidays like this, visit my "Lightbulb!" thread.

Merry "Christmas!"

It seems to me that July 25 would be the day to celebrate Christmas in July. That's tomorrow! Merry Christmas in July, everybuggy!

When you asked what day it was on the Lightulb thread, and Kimmie said the 21st, I think she misunderstood you, thinking you were asking what day it had been currently. I know I did, anyway. But I'm fairly sure it would be celebrated on the 25th. Let's do it then even if I'm incorrect—I want to celebrate it.

So, it's Christmas Eve! Yay!

You're right Ima, I totally misunderstood CJ's question. :p

Merry Christmas! ;)

Let's do a virtual gift-giving thing! Whoever posts next gets a free, early copy of a book that isn't out yet. Mockingjay, The Atlantis Complex, whatever JKR writes next. (She was seen writing in a coffeehouse and confirmed that she was working on a book! Yay!)... Anything, really. If you don't know of anything you want at this point, you can get something else, but I'd take the opportunity if i knew of anything that looked interesting. And I do, but I'm not giving it to myself, so...

Aetc says wykd. I think he's wishing someone would give him a copy of Wicked. That makes sense; he deserves presents, too! Here *gives him Wicked*.

Christmas Eve! Let's see, a pie for Ima, jellybeans for ZNZ, olives for Olive, any book of choice for Clair, some smiley postcards for Kimberly, a smiley notebook for Paige, and scuba flippers for Spambox!  He said "fipa."

Why are we celebrating Christmas in July?  That doesn't make sense.

@R~D~: This actually is a somewhat official holiday (at least, I've heard of it before) and it's supposed to be Christmas half a year later for those who are impatient. :)  Thought it really should be Christmas in June...  Anyway, the holiday's full name is 'Christmas in July' and it was mentioned on the holiday thread made by CJ, which you'd know as 'Lightbulb' on the front page. :) :)  Hope that helps!

Merry Christmas in July, everybuggy!  I'm not posting right after Ima, so I don't get the books :(, but for my part, whoever posts right after me gets really nice stationery, a pack of pens that work especially well, and an audiobook version of all the books Ima mentioned!  Yay!  Spamboy says, "hamr."  Yes, it's Christmas in July, so you can have ham! :)

Whoever posts after me gets coupons to all the TCCP stores, cookies, free origami, fruit flavored gum, 100 books, art supplies, and lots of notebook paper! This is fun!

More from my list of gifts to give: tickets to a musical of choice for TNO, a Band That Shall Not Be Named soundtrack for Elizabeth.W, a pine tree for Leaf, chocolate for Choco....
