It’s nearly that time of year again. Can you believe it? I can’t.
Christmas in July is a bit of fun, especially here in Australia. Our Christmases are usually hot and dusty. Not the ideal time to be enjoying traditional Christmas fare, although we still give it a pretty good go 
Not only is July an ideal time to get stuck into Christmas hams and puds, it is also a perfect time to start thinking about the real Christmas in December. I know it seems like forever away, but if you’ve ever been struck with dread a few days before Christmas because you’ve forgotten something important you’ll appreciate the value of a little forward planning.
I’m not suggesting you rush out and buy all your Christmas presents now (keep an eye out at the July sales though – there’s plenty of bargains). Instead, perhaps start making a list of gifts, card recipients or things to do. A little bit each week and come Christmas you’ll be cool, calm and collected because you’ve got it all ready to go.
I did a Christmas in July series last year that goes into more detail. Note that I’m not doing the competition this year (I’ve not been here enough to be that organised 
).

I did a Christmas in July thing too last year and it worked so well in getting me organised. I have my first crafting session Monday with a girlfriend to start making some home made gifts. Happy Christmas in July to you!
