Aunt Helen's Christmas in July won't happen.

Don't plan on Aunt Helen's Christmas in July. It won't happen this year or ever again. 

She has decided that all the original siblings are getting too old and have too many problems so she is dropping it. She will have Uncle Don, Aunt Thelma, Aunt Eva and Dad and I get together one Monday in April. But as for the rest of you, it is all over. Sorry about that. I think some of you really enjoyed it.

We also do not get our time off from the temple in January and July anymore. We will have our time off in April and in October. The temple committee has determined that is the cleaning schedule we need to be on and so, while they are having the temple cleaned, we are having time off. Kind of weird times, right? They coincide with conference but do not include conference.
