CHRISTMAS IN JULY?

Doesn't feel like Christmas here in the Midwest
with 90-100+ temps for weeks now.
Although my DH did accused me of having Cabin Fever.
Honestly, I don't.
I love the peace and quiet.


But with all the Christmas challenges
I just HAD to make a Christmas card!
Y'all left me no choice!
