So, why are we celebrating ‘Christmas in July’? Are we crazy? Well, maybe a little, but there’s also a much deeper reason.
We celebrate the Spirit of Christmas in July because it reminds us of the love of Christ and gives us time to reconnect with family. We can start the ‘Christmas Love Box’ tradition when our lives are a little less hectic. It’s fun and brings everyone closer together!
Here’s what the Blake family has to say about the Christmas Love Box tradition. I hope you find it inspiring. We sure do.

Love of Family, Not of Gifts.
By: Mrs. Blake
For the Blake family, Christmas was both a treat and an extra special blessing of love and commitment with our first ‘Christmas Love Box’. While I must say we were a bit skeptical of the perceived power and blessings in store for us, each of us was definitely impacted and thrilled by the end of the day.
When we received the ‘Christmas Love Box’ package, each member of our family was asked to participate by presenting kind thoughts to everyone else. I was amazed by their willingness to engage in the process (must be trust of their Nana)! With lots of love, humor, respect and heart felt love; everyone wrote individual love notes to other family members and were (amazingly so) willing to read them aloud.
The tears, love and gift of the real purpose of Christmas took front stage . . . how can we forget the birth of Christ and His saving grace!!!
The best of the best was from my husband. . . who is not a gift/materialistic kind of guy who said: ‘WOW, finally, we remember Christmas for what it’s all about . . . LOVE of Family and not of gifts.”
So our question to you is, “Why not celebrate Christmas in July?”
Let’s share more love – all year long.
