99 Days till CHRISTMAS

Did you know? The very first Christmas in July was celebrated at Keystone Camp in Brevard, North Carolina during the summer of 1933. The all girls summer camp held a Christmas in July weekend celebration complete with carolers, a Christmas Tree, fake snow, a gift exchange and even a surprise visit from Santa Claus himself. The camp continued the tradition for years and it eventually spread across the country.

During the 1940's Christmas in July was promoted by the government to encourage people to send gifts to soldiers overseas and to stimulate the economy.

And once again. I haven't lived or worked in Wildwood for over a year and a half. And the bikers leave a bigger mess than the fireman. 

I raced in the race of gentlemen a few times down there, good times 

The sea, once it casts its spell, holds one in its net of wonder forever~Jacques Yves Cousteau
