Christmas Crazy In July
Jenna Hendricks
- Christmas
- only
- comes
- once
- a
- year…
Except
- when
- it
- doesn't.Millie:
No
- ugly
- sweater
- contests…
No
- sleigh
- bells
- ringing…
All
- isn't
- Merry
- &
- Bright…
Bah
- humbug
- is
- my
- new
- normal.
- Or
- at
- least
- it
- was
- until
- someone
- came
- up
- with
- the
- "super"
- idea
- of
- having
- a
- post-pandemic
- Christmas
- in
- July.
How
- is
- Santa
- gonna
- come
- on
- a
- sleigh
- with
- his
- way
- too
- hot
- santa
- suit
- and
- deliver
- presents
- to
- everyone
- in
- July?
- Especially
- a
- July
- that's
- going
- to
- leave
- its
- mark
- in
- the
- record
- books
- for
- hottest
- summer…EVER!
Now,
- I
- can't
- even
- get
- a
- parking
- space
- in
- the
- shopping
- mall!
Since
- Christmas
- was
- cancelled
- all
- over
- the
- world
- last
- December,
- EVERYONE,
- and
- I
- mean
- everyone,
- is
- going
- Christmas
- Crazy!
I
- wasn't
- going
- to
- do
- it,
- I
- swore
- to
- myself,
- and
- my
- family,
- that
- I
- was
- going
- to
- pass
- it
- up.
- Until
- He
- came
- along.
- Then
- everything
- changed.Corbin:
I
- don't
- know
- why
- some
- people
- are
- so
- up
- in
- arms
- about
- Christmas
- in
- July.
- I
- love
- Christmas,
- no
- matter
- the
- season.
- Even
- if
- hot
- cocoa
- by
- the
- fireplace
- isn't
- the
- coolest
- thing
- to
- do
- right
- now.
My
- best
- friend,
- and
- canine
- companion
- Bella,
- and
- I
- were
- doing
- just
- fine.
- Enjoying
- a
- walk
- to
- the
- shopping
- center
- on
- a
- fine
- summer
- morning.
- Honestly,
- I
- was
- only
- out
- looking
- for
- a
- Christmas
- Hawaiian
- print
- shirt.
- When
- out
- of
- nowhere,
- I
- heard
- a
- scream
- and
- saw
- the
- backside
- of
- a
- woman
- flailing
- out
- of
- a
- dress
- shop
- to
- unceremoniously
- drop
- headfirst
- into
- a
- mud
- pile
- created
- by
- a
- broken
- sprinkler.I
- think
- it's
- time
- I
- Santa
- Up
- and
- help
- the
- pretty
- girl
- sputtering
- mud
- out
- of
- her
- mouth,
- if
- only
- she
- didn't
- hate
- me.This
- standalone
- Christmas
- in
- July
- book
- is
- for
- anyone
- who
- is
- ready
- to
- move
- past
- 2020
- and
- loves
- snarky
- leading
- ladies,
- cute
- men
- who
- love
- to
- rescue
- women
- in
- need,
- and
- dogs.
- Yeah,
- dogs
- are
- awesome!
- Especially
- super
- cute
- Boston
- Terriers
- with
- lots
- of attitude.
