Christmas in August

Anyone who knows me knows I love to entertain, in fact, I think it is part of my love language to entertain and share my home with my friends and family. 

I was thinking just how fun Christmas in August would be. 

We could have all our friends and family at our house this year now that we have recently purchased our new home, I wanted to share some ways that I would decorate for Christmas in Summer 

Decoration:

I would put up our tree decorated with my mother in laws help, she always has the nicest Christmas trees.  I would put some decor around the house and make it look festive 

Food: 

What is Christmas without food right 

Our Menu would look different than a December Menu as it is Summer and we could grill steaks, so we would have: 

Guest List: 

                                                       Family on both sides

close friends 

Keep it small but intimate 

Beverages: 

Iced tea 

coffee

tea

hot chocolate as that feels like Christmas 

While everyone is enjoying the night together, I will tell them about the Christmas card selection I am looking to be getting for December Christmas,  and I need to get family photos for the perfect card... you can find some great selections at Paperless Post
