Oh will have to start working on CIJ posts... need to find a theme or a cohesive idea
Lucie, I will be writing my own personal chores and goals too. I have a list started.
Did we have a theme for posts? I can't remember. Oops.
An interesting mix of posts this year. I hope that you will enjoy it.
Could you send Jody a message and double check? I don’t have the schedule with me
Jampass, we are requiring less hosts this year so you are not signed up to do anything.
75 days! Slowly, slowly inching towards CIJ 2026.
50 days until we start one of the most exciting months of the year. I am working furiously on both MHH plans and my own personal plans.
Can't wait!!!!

Who invented Christmas in July, here is what a Google search revealed.
- United States (1933/1944): The concept was first celebrated in 1933 at Keystone Camp, a girls' summer camp in Brevard, North Carolina, where campers held a two-day Christmas event with a tree, gifts, and Santa. It later gained public attention in 1944 during World War II when the U.S. Post Office and the military launched a "Christmas in July" campaign to encourage people to send holiday mail and gifts to overseas troops early.
- Australia and the Southern Hemisphere (1980s): In Australia, where December falls during the hot summer, the tradition began in the 1980s. According to local legend, it was popularized in the Blue Mountains of New South Wales by a group of Irish and British tourists who wanted to experience a traditional, cold-weather Christmas with snow, roast dinners, and mulled wine during the Australian winter
