Hey there,
Have you ever found yourself in the middle of Summer, sitting on the beach, thinking of Christmas? If you have, you are not alone!
There is just something about the jolly spirit and holiday generosity that makes people long for Christmas in the Summer… not to mention those hot days that you think to yourself, “would a little snow really be that bad?”
It turns out this isn’t a new thing, people have been celebrating Christmas in July for almost 90 years!
It all started back in 1933 at Keystone, a summer camp in North Carolina, when one of the camp co-founders suggested they do holiday activities such as making fake snow and singing carols to boost the spirits of the campers. It must’ve worked because it became an annual tradition at the camp.
What a fun idea! Now I want to listen to Christmas music and sip some hot (or iced) chocolate.
