In the dog days of summer, as we enjoy the warm glow of the sun and the fact that August hasn’t even started yet, it may seem too early to think about Christmas. But hey, I was in Hobby Lobby yesterday and Christmas is everywhere!! Someone even shared that there is a SUNta Clause nearby.
Christmas in July is popular among people living in the Southern hemisphere. Decembers south of the Equator are hot and humid while July and August are wintery. For countries in that area having Christmas celebrations in July seem sensible so that the weather is cold and cozy bringing more of a Christmas theme to mind.
In the United States at Keystone Camp, in Brevard, North Carolina, they decided to hold a Christmas event on the 24th and 25th of July. They found Carolers , cotton was used as fake snow, and even SUNta Claus stopped by. This soon became a yearly tradition.
So let’s celebrate Christmas in July here at First Grade Hip Hip Hooray by getting a head start on Back to School Resources at 20% off on July 24th and 25th. Look also for a FREE item SUNta Clause will bring you!!
