Christmas in July Recipes and Craft Ideas

Hello Beach Dwellers

I have noticed some people over here searching for Christmas in July recipes and crafts and I thought I'd put this up to make it easy for you.  I absolutely love the Christmas season.  It's when my blog comes into its own and I find it great fun to create content.  Funnily enough, as a mum I find the whole season completely daunting, but as a blogger, I love it because it is at that time of year I feel the most creative.  So if you are after some cute and easy ideas for your Christmas in July celebration.  I hope this helps you out.

    I am so going to do that cake stand snow dome this year! What a great idea :) Xmas in July is us Aussies chance to have a nice hot roast dinner without burning the house down with the hot summer isnt it. Looks great.

    I love the idea of Christmas in July, that way you have more time to create without the hustle and bustle of the season :)

    Great collection there, I think I will head first to the simple biscuit recipe as it's baking weather. I love your mantels and decorations but don't reckon I'd get them done in school holidays... but you must re-post this list before real Xmas.

    A very big thank you, the ladder is my favourite. With both girls having left home, putting up the big tree is daunting. I will pass that onto one of the daughters and opt for the ladder. xx

    Some great inspiration here. I went to a Christmas in July a few years ago and it was so much fun. It seemed really appropriate to be eating all that hot, roasted food in the middle of winter - something that's always so seasonally wrong on Christmas Day. xx

    What a pleasant post Carolyn. That reindeer and the candy cane candle are the ones I would like to try. I would like to go to one of those Christmas in July dinners. If I'm good enough to deserve it.
