Welcome to #MarketFriday by 
I stepped outside to get a snippet of the green, in celebration of this wonderful day. I am guessing the cyber world is really playing it up big! They actually had Black Friday in July! All of my stores are having Christmas sales. This is being taken way out of control. Methinks it is just a sales ploy without the click and bait. They don't need to! It's Christmas!! In July.
I was lucky that I remembered to go to the grocery store after Christmas (the one in December!) and buy some extra cranberries and put them in the freezer. This morning, I got them out and prepared the cranberry sauce. One of my favorite parts of the meal.
In keeping with the spirit of Christmas, I put my Christmas Spode into service, enjoying my coffee and a little something in it. It's Christmas! I even painted my nails a little bit red. Ho! Ho! Ho!
I almost didn't go to the Christmas store, but, I couldn't resist! Who doesn't want to reproduce that wonderful feeling we all get from Christmas? I would pay good money to have that same feeling. Are you with me? Let's go! After coffee, of course!
Pucker up baby!! It's Christmas in July and I carry my own mistletoe.

Question: As a Christmas gift parents buy 16 computer games for their 3 children! The youngest gets 1/8 of the games, the middle child gets 1/4 of the games and the oldest gets 1/2 of the games.
How many games does each child receive and how many do the parents keep
Answer: You have 1/8, 1/4 and 1/2. If you give them a common denominator of 16 then you end up with 2/16, 4/16 and 8/16 and so the answer is…
Youngest Child: 2 games
Middle Child: 4 games
Oldest Child: 8 games
Parents: 2 games
I am touched by the way the kindness has just radiated outward, wherever I went, whatever I did. Can we please do this kind of thing all year round? I promise it won't wear out!
As always, there must be a flower. Always. To color my world. These flowers are dedicated to all of you, who color my world every single day. Thank you for that.

Thanks for taking a walk on the wild side in memory of Christmas. It was fun and truly gave me some ideas for next Christmas. So thank you and I hope you have yourself a Merry Little Christmas! And if you get bored tonight, I know for a fact that the Hallmark Channel is only playing Christmas movies!
And just like that, this post is over! I hope you had a good time and yes! I know that Christmas in July is a bit odd, but, some days, you just have to give into it. So tie up those reindeer, sit down and let's have some dinner chased by a little egg nog and fruit cake! You know you want to! Cheers!! Always remember!
