Christmas in July
July 15th is the birthday of Clement Clark Moore, credited with writing 'A Visit from St Nick' (otherwise know as 'Twas the Night Before Christmas').

It seems appropriate to celebrate Christmas in July around this time, so...

Christmas in July Craft Day
Saturday July 16th
1pm onwards

I am planning on using it as an opportunity to get started with Christmas preparation - time to make Christmas crackers and fruit mince:-) Time to start thinking about making Christmas cards (not sure that I'll do that, but still) and time to start thinking about making Christmas presents.

I might make some gingerbread to nibble on for the occasion.

All are welcome (I know some people will be at Continuum) even if you're not doing Christmas craft.

Absolutely:-)

I figure, _I'll_ be crafting no matter what... if others come and join me that'll be great.

It's looking good for me to come along, but probably won't be dead on one. What should I bring? What are we doing? *wail*

Whatever takes your fancy. I didn't make gingerbread, but I have mini fruit cakes.

I've got my crackers about ready to assemble, and then I'll move to needlecrafts of some sort - although possibly not christmassy.

It's really just an opportunity to craft, and get my brain into gear:-)

Yesterday I even found I didn't need to make fruit mince, I found there's enough left for another year:-)

Don't know at this stage... My sister's birthday is that week, so if she is doing something it will be likely to be that night. But, otherwise I figure we'll order pizza or something and keep going:-)

I have no birthday party plans, so dinner it is, with craft continuing...

Do you realise this is HARRY POTTER day? I shall be there late if at all, as I will be devouring HP6. By Raw Cordial predictions it should be very very very long indeed.

You could always bring it along and read it aloud to us as we craft:-)
