Xmas in July!
Deck the halls with boughs of holly,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Tis the season to be jolly,

Don we now our gay apparel,

My first ever Xmas in July was guaranteed to be a spectacular one with our gracious hosts Billy and The Pom having invited me and fellow foodbloggers Citrus & Candy, Chocolatesuze, Eat, Show & Tell, Grab Your Fork, One Bite More, Penguin Says Feed Me, Raspberri Cupcakes and The <3 of Food.
