IN JULY?
For

be. Thinking about Christmas, that is. Sure, it's still nearly six months away,
but if you plan for it now, you'll be ready when the holiday season arrives. And
I'm not talking about doing your holiday shopping. July... Christmas

table; the caroling, the NO SCHOOL, the snowmen and hour long snowball fights

your loved one. How

Relieving
Christmas Anxiety for Children

a child, Christmas is the most exciting holiday of all. They look forward to the
Christmas tree, lights, presents, stockings, make-believe Santa Claus, wishlists,
