That's ridiculous. The only time I ever did Xmas in July was when my late FIL was alive (barely) and I didn't think he'd make it until Xmas. So I did a family Xmas in July so he could enjoy something and we'd have an occasion to remember, and bugger me if I didn't fluke one of the nicest meals I've ever cooked. People still talk about it kinda hopefully around this time of year but I only did it that one time for special reasons. KFC can go to buggery.

That's lovely and precious❤ I hear about people wanting to do Xmas in July from time to time but don't think I've ever participated. It's just kinda weird.
