Christmas...it's not August yet!
 
I have just opened a e-mail with a 'Joyful' in fact 'quite bloody awesome' headiing "Ready, Set, Snow"! Come shopping in July.....if anything is guaranteed to send me off the deep end it's this rubbish. In case you're interested (not you Oink!) they are selling Xmas wrap and cards in Costco:zzz:

:santa: Bad, bad Santa!

Wake me up next spring please!

The man in my life was getting all gleeful & excited yesterday having received an email concerning "Early Bird" ski passes... I said a rude word, & pouted.

I can't wait to spend my first Christmas in Canada but I agree it's a little early at the moment :)

Wannabe immigrants to Canada are advised to "embrace the winter". What could be more embracefulizing than talking about it in late July? Winter is only 12 short weeks away... :rofl:

I saw kids' snow suits there in June. They'd actually sold out of one size.

Counting down to Winter - this heat is horrific. Roll on lots of lovely snow.

This. Although this year I get to experience an Illinois winter. Hopefully it's just as vicious as a Canadian one.

Some of the stores around here are starting to get in winter clothing now, and all the summer stuff is on clearance, some pretty good deals on BBQ's and patio sets now, and Wal-Mart has officially closed its garden center for the year, and Home Depot has most of their stuff on clearance, I am sure it will be closing in the next 3 weeks.

Summer is almost over folks. Down to the final full month almost (August)
