Where did the phrase “Christmas in July” come from??

Christmas In July is not so much a phrase but an actual celebration…Its the same as the other Christmas, just in July…

Also known as Winter Yuletide celebrations, or Yulefest these celebrations are often in countries where December 25 is summer. So Australia/NZ are the main ones.

It is just too hot to get enthusiastic about a traditional big roast with pudding etc. So over the years many Australian families and organisations have opted to have an addition Christmas dinner in July celebration, in the middle of winter when it’s nice and cool and great for tucking in to a sumptuous big feast. A Christmas in July dinner usually includes Christmas Decorations Christmas Candles, colourful streamers, bonbons, Christmas hats and whistles.

The origin of the tradition is still not confirmed- many believe it was attributed to an Irish group who enjoyed the winter snow in Sydney’s Blue Mountains and decided to party!!
