Christmas in July
"It's the most wonderful time of the year" so why not celebrate it twice? As Christmas in the Southern Hemisphere is usually warm to very hot many enjoy celebrating a Turkey feast in the middle of winter. The snowfields of Australia has embraced this celebration and host events through July to help people celebrate a white Christmas.
The date to celebrate Christmas in July is not a specfic day each year. It is usually held late July to fall mid-winter, during the coldest period of winter. It can be held on the winter solstice (June 21 2009).

Who to celebrate with?
Christmas in July can be with friends and/or family. As it is a less formal celbration and excellent excuse for a mid-year catch up when most people are hiding indoors at night. I'd advise organising a catch up with a group of friends and keepign the family Christmas fun down to just once a year.
