Before July hopefully we can restore our Christmas lights to working order and turn them on. It sort of helps to cheer up during the cold nights.
We also might make the cake we made last year for Christmas in July. It is served with maple syrup and blueberries.
It was started in Australia in the Blue Mountains, Christmas In July, as they have snow there in July.

The time went so fast this July. Today now August, it looks like spring has sprung, so the dull winter seems to be going fast.
This July I participated in a Christmas In July swap, so that was my Christmas in July for this year. It was fun.

When do you actually celebrate Christmas in Australia? Or do you have a holiday for that in both July and December? Just curious.

We celebrate Christmas on the 25th December, and then have Boxing Day the day after. I enjoy the traditional pudding even though it is hot here at Christmas time. Most Australians live near the coast so they may be lucky and get a cooler day. We don't often have cooler days away from the coast where I live. Although in December you are more likely to have one than later on the the summer which ends on the last day of February.

I am familiar with boxing day. The Canadians also celebrate that. I just wonder why it was never an American thing to do that as well. For me it would be hard to celebrate Christmas in hot weather but then again in states like California, Florida or even Hawaii it would be close to what it is in Australia.
