20 Minute Decorating: Christmas in July Edition

  • Facebook
  • Twitter

In this post: It’s never too early to plan for the holidays. These Christmas in July decorating ideas are super easy and can be completed in 20 minutes or less..⇒

Christmas in July from Designthusiasm

When I first started blogging six years ago, I didn’t really understand that there was a calendar people followed. 

I posted my Father’s Day table after Father’s Day, to show what my holiday table actually looked like, and posted my Thanksgiving decor in July because I saw something that reminded me of it. I shared my New Year’s party in August, because that’s when I thought of it, as I was organizing my pictures. It didn’t dawn on me that people wanted inspiration before the event, but not so far before that they couldn’t tell if it was early for the coming year or late for the past year.

Eventually I figured it out and got on board with the traditional calendar. I learned to offer a few limited things for the early adopters, pace myself through a season with a big push as things got closer and always tried to throw in something fresh for the ‘last minute Charlies’. I followed these conventions diligently for the next several years.

So imagine my confusion when I first came upon the custom of Christmas in July!

“Ridiculous!”, I thought at first. It gets earlier and earlier every year. Who is thinking of the holidays in the middle of the summer? Well, it turns out lots of people are. In fact the number of people searching for holiday decor in July is rather shocking! 

It also turns out that this year, in particular, the numbers are even higher!

I suppose people are delighted to be planning for a holiday that they can enjoy celebrating at home… 🙂

It is in this spirit that I joined with my favorite group of bloggers, to bring you a ‘Christmas in July’ edition of our 20 Minute Decorating series. You’ll find a charming array of simple Christmas decor that can be arranged, crafted or set-up in 20 minutes or less. 

Whether you start your planning now or tuck these ideas away on your favorite Pinterest boards to be returned to later, I hope they bring you a little holiday cheer amidst one of the strangest July’s in recent memory.

    In New Zealand we are in the middle of our winter in July, so it is the best time for us to Have our “Midwinter Christmas” As Christmas falls in our summer in NZ it gives us the opportunity to enjoy as well, what a “winter Christmas” would feel like, ie cosy fires, hot toddies, cuddly throws, Xmas puddings with custard, and brightening up our winter days & homes with sparkling decorations, spending precious time with the people in your bubble. Food for the soul.
    NZ has faired better than most at this tricky time in our world, and we wish you all the best of health and happiness, for you and yours.

      Thank you so much, Christine! And I’m glad the post resonated with you… 🙂 My daughter is in your part of the world, living in Sydney for a while. Very thankful that it’s much safer there at this time.

Here's the most fascinating thing about my friend Here's the most fascinating thing about my friend KariAnne @thistlewood.  She's full of energy and personality and tons of smarts!  She wears red lipstick and is one of the most encouraging people I know.  If you're feeling sluggish, go get a does of inspiration from KariAnne because she's always more awake than anyone else.⁣
⁣
And yet, when it comes to her home, it's as peaceful and calming as you can possibly image. Yes, it oozes signs of her talent and creativity, but it's ever so serene in the best possible way! I just love this dichotomy because I find both sides of KariAnne to work perfectly together.  Be sure to check out her page to see what I mean.  You won't be disappointed... 🙌😀
