This is a phrase that retailers like to use frequently. The summer months are some of the slowest in retail. It is the time of year when fall things are beginning to come in (clothes, cars, etc.), and they are having to get rid of the spring and summer things to make room. So, in order to boost sales and get rid of overstock, they use the Christmas in July tactic. The prices are so good you can shop early for Christmas, or you get so much for so little that it feels like Christmas. You get the idea.

Because most people want to start buying gifts in the early parts of the year. So the stores started advertising specials in July since it is in the middle of the year. Go figure.

I think it's from hard-core crafters that need a 6 months to knit everyone sweaters.
Seriously. Google christmas stockings and you'll see what I mean...they are slaves to the needles.

Retailers needed cash and could not wait for the December holiday windfall so they created a mid-year sale.

It's a retail gimmick to improve business during the slower months.
