The Monday Piece - Stocking Fillers, Christmas in August

This week's Monday Piece is on Stocking Fillers, Christmas in August! Christmas fanatics are always on countdown to the big day on December 25th, for many people it's the most magical, exciting and fun filled time of year! Stocking Fillers has launched a new campaign, 'Christmas in August', where they are celebrating all things Christmas and combining festive treats and trends with Summer ones, it sounds a little different but is worth checking out. Celebrating a Summer yuletide is common in the Southern Hemisphere, so Stocking Fillers is helping to make it happen in the UK - they have lots planned for Christmas in Summer on the 25th of August.

A range of Christmas come Summer recipes has caught my eye, each day they are releasing a new recipe in an advent calendar theme, so far featuring tasty treats like Christmas pudding ice cream, garlic and rosemary potato salad, and turkey and cranberry picnic pie - there's a mix of flavours to entice all taste buds so be sure to give one a go! Stocking Fillers is also celebrating by decorating Summer objects with traditional Crimbo decorations, dressing up in a jazzy palm tree shirt instead of a festive jumper, drinking Pimms and fruit instead of mulled wine, and catching some waves at the beach surfing instead of sledging! There are plenty of ideas on how to get into the spirit of the holiday!

Of course people love to share at Christmas with the giving of presents and treats, Stocking Fillers are giving away amazing bundles of prezzies in their big 2 days of Christmas giveaway, so make sure you get entering via facebook and twitter to be in with a chance of winning! They are SO passionate about making August in Christmas an actual, proper 'thing', there's even a petition you can sign to make it official, click here to show your support!
