Christmas in July

Ho Ho Ho.

Its a good thing that only my sister-in-law from my mother's side of the family reads this as we are planning our family's night at the Family Reunion to be a surprise CHRISTMAS IN JULY party.

the email I sent to my homies in the clan:

Here is a list of what I just ordered - Mom is getting melting snowman bean bags to decorate the table, Christmas kazoos (to do the xmas songs with) and inflatable xmas balls for the pool...

We are going to get ham and turkey for dinner, mashed potatoes, corn, green beans, rolls and gravy for dinner.
For dessert we are going to buy pre-made cookie dough and let the kids make xmas cookies.
I would like to serve the adults a Christmas cocktail called Poinsettia - triple sec, champagne, and a little cranberry juice. And serve the kids Shirley Temples (with cherries, add to shopping list)
I am going to copy some songs and hand them out per family to perform via kazoo.
We are NOT doing gifts. Thank the wallet.

** the Santa hat with felt beard is for BURRO DEVINE. Burro Ass! The Bean can wear tights and her silver shoes...and probably, that's all. And maybe some interpretive streaks from the washable markers. And my lipstick on her ears and knees.

Grocery List
5 bottles cheap-ass champagne
1 bottle Triple Sec
1 bottle cranberry juice
(note to Mom - bring the Ibuprofen to combat cheap-ass champagne)
