Blog City Prompt: Christmas in July. Do you do anything that is Christmas related in July?


7/27/23 prompt a day late but I have a good reason.
I attended a virtual Christmas in July party this afternoon. I waited to make this late response knowing this party was today for two hours. Here is the centerpeace:

And there were four giveaways. The winners will be announced after the computer fairly picks the winners in a few days. I have not won anything for over a year. This is the one I really hope to win.

I bought a birthday gift for the youngest of my eleven grandchildren since his birthday is in the Christmas in July month. We have two children who wanted to have more sisters and brothers so they had to take care of that want themselves.

I have not done any traditional Christmas thing in July this year. Nor last year. Or the year before that. I noticed my next door neighbor put Christmas lights up on their back patio around the first of July. They just moved here from Florida. I thought it might be something Floridians do.

Christmas is a double-edged sword for me. It is on December 25th every year. I decorate on the first of December. The day after Christmas everything comes down. It is soon replaced with purple crepe paper on my birthday New Year's Eve.

I wrote my second poem today for my portfolio. I expressed, in a review I did of a poem, that at one time I wrote 100 poems. I wrote 99 and quit. Poetry is not my "thing". Ned nordinccnoir commented that he read my first poem and I should continue to write more poetry. Always a people pleaser, here is my second poem. "The Pencil" . I will need to let Ned know.

See you tomorrow.
