I hear the expression "Christmas in July" lots of times. It's cool that you guys in Australia celebrate in July when the weather's cool there. Do you celebrate in December too?

So does that mean the best sales are in July or January? Oh, wait, they are in July and January, here. Never mind.

Here in the US it's mostly commercial. Since it's 6 months (less even, I guess!) until Xmas, the retailers want us to start shopping again and remind us that it's just around the corner.

I think most other southern hemisphere countries follow the "Xmas in July" tradition that we have here in Australia.
I really like it!

Well, I guess that's why we have Christmas in July sales in the US. Thanks for the enlightening information. Who'd have guessed?
Incidentally, do you celebrate Halloween early too?
