Yep. It's back. Christmas in Winter for us down here in the Southern Hemisphere. If you remember last July I declared a day that was to be our "cold" Christmas. This week it is July 16th, so the last week was declared Christmas! It started by lots of Christmas music, a few decorations (I tried not to go over the top:), a few little gifts to pick up, and the excitement of Saturday July 16th - A Mid Winter Christmas Festival in town. I have been excited about this for about two months now. I am actually giddy when I think of seeing Christmas displays, hearing Christmas music, seeing Christmas lights, having a cup of hot chocolate all while being cold with my family this Saturday.
Sam has the day off and is going to go with us. Max LOVES three things in life these days: Other kids, Dogs (seriously?!!?!), and LIGHTS. It is his crazy fascination with all lights - light fixtures in our house, street lights, lights in stores, light bulbs, anything that has to do with lights. We even took him in a lighting store the other day and he was buzzed out with excitement the whole time, so I am sure he will love all the Christmas lights. We are planning to go late afternoon so he can experience all the lights and I can experience a cold Christmas, and Sam...well he will get the joy of seeing his happy family reveling in some of their favorite things.
