What is Christmas in July?

Christmas in Julyis a cheerful mid-summer celebration of everything we love about the holidays — trees, carols, gifts and cocoa — enjoyed in the warmth of July instead of December. In the United States it's a favorite theme for summer sales, camp days, and holiday-movie marathons. In the Southern Hemisphere, where July is the middle of winter, some families throw a cozy “midwinter Christmas” with all the trimmings the December heat usually denies them. The phrase itself got a big boost from the 1940 comedy film Christmas in July, and one of the earliest celebrations is often traced to a summer camp in North Carolina back in 1933.

However you celebrate it, it's an excuse for a little joy in the sunshine — which is exactly what these puzzles are for.
