Today, July 25, a bunch of places--notably the Hallmark Channel--are celebrating "Christmas in July." It seems to be an annual thing, I know, but one thing has always perplexed me: Why "...in July"?
If the idea is to give ourselves a holiday six months after the real one, shouldn't be "Christmas in June," on June 25? Why are we doing it seven months later? I know people who celebrate their "half-birthdays" six months after their real ones. I know people, usually relatively newly-weds, who celebrate their "half-anniversaries"--six months after their real ones. I don't know anyone who celebrates their birthday (or anniversary) plus seven months.
Can you explain this?
