Christmas in July - Fun Facts and History!
The Australian 'Christmas in July' celebration is a somewhat unusual and some suggest even slightly eccentric festival that now attracts international travellers to the land down-under! Christmas in July' or Yulefest as it is also known is believed to have been born by accident one snowy wintery night in July of 1980 at an award-winning boutique hotel 'Mountain Heritage' in the Blue Mountains of New South Wales, Australia. A group of Irish guests noticed the irony of winter weather in July and wanting to recreate the feelings associated with winter back home, asked the hotel proprietor if he could organise a few Christmas-style food and festivities for them that night. Thus was born Christmas in July sporting Christmas decorations, snowmen, mulled wine, carols, roast dinners, mince pies, plum pudding, egg nog, bonbons, Christmas crackers, log fires and the occasional snow fall amongst a magical winter Yuletide wonderland of festivities.

Christmas Pageant Nativity Plays to Tell the Christmas Story
A Christmas pageant or Christmas nativity play is a popular event among Christian groups in the lead up to Christmas. It tells the story of the birth of Christ in the town of Bethlehem, which is commemorated every Christmas. The main stage setting is almost always a humble stable where the family was compelled to stay because of crowding in the town during a census. This nativity scene telling about the origins of Christ is the dominant symbol of Christmas among Christians.

First make sure that you are allowed to decorate your work area or the whole office. Remember that your co-workers may not have the same attitude towards the holidays make sure that you don't do it in a way that might be considered offensive for others who don't celebrate Christmas I advise you to discuss plans for Christmas decorations with the entire office staff. Make it simple because you are all busy and don't have much spare time. Install a Christmas themed screen saver and wallpaper on your computer. Use Christmas lights to decorate your workspace or cubicle. It's better to stay away from blinking lights because they may distract you and your co-workers. Hang a wreath on your desk or door. Make it small and simple as possible. Place Christmas plants with present bows tied around them on your desk and others on the floor. Place a small artificial Christmas tree in your office lobby or on your desk. Get some Christmas themed office supplies. Play Christmas music from your computer. Hang stockings for everyone in the office. and encourage every body to personalize his/her stocking by adding his/her name.

First, find a shape that you want to use. Search the internet for "Christmas tree shape" or "Christmas tree template" for example. Enlarge the shape or draw it freehand on a piece of plywood. Christmas trees, presents, ornaments and stocking shapes work particularly well.

After the paint is dry, using another color of paint add touches like stripes to an ornament or color the toe and top of a stocking shape.
If you are making more than one shape to go together as a grouping, it looks nice to pick a color pallet and stay in those colors. Like red and green are nice and bright. You could paint 2 shapes in red and 2 shapes in green. Another suggestion is using gold, silver and white.
For the stakes, use 2 wooden dowel rods or steel rods for each. Paint these to match your shape. Attach them to the shape with small u-shaped brackets that can be attached with screws. Look for conduit hangers to use as the u-shaped brackets.
Now add some accessories to the yard art. For a Christmas tree shape, string 3" gold bells through some wire and decorate the tree. 3" gold bells are available at craft stores. Add a weatherproof gold star on top.
Add 3" gold metal bells to a Christmas ornament shape. Just string 3 or 4 on wire and let them hang down. Or gather the bells near the top and add some weatherproof holly.
Yard art in the shape of Christmas presents can be easily adorned with outdoor ribbon and the 3" bells.
Another neat idea for yard art is to add "Merry Christmas" or "Happy Holidays from" and your name on a plaque or added to an ornament shape.
Yard art doesn't have to be fancy. Just plain old Christmas shapes do an excellent job!

While a nativity play takes varying forms in different Christian communities around the world, it invariably features Mary and Joseph with their new baby in the straw of a manger, or feeding trough, in place of a crib. The scene usually features the animals of the stable, and shepherds. The story may feature the surrounding events of the Roman census and the inn keeper who found the family a place to sleep in the stable.

There is a great deal of symbolism in the story, as Christian messages are conveyed in the play. It serves as a reminder of the traditional religious meanings of Christmas to Christians.
However the singing of popular carols and audience participation are also looked forward to as seasonal Christmas entertainment, especially among children.
Many churches and religious schools include the production of a nativity play at Christmas time as an important feature of their annual calendar of events.

An old-fashioned Christmas decorating theme can range anywhere from Victorian times to classic 50's decorations. It is important to decide on an era and stick with it. Multi-colored lights hark to the fifties, but if you really want to go back in time, think of candlelight, which translates today to become white instead of colored lights. If you can find a yellower light, that is even better.

The best way to achieve an old-fashioned look is to choose one era and stick with it through your decorating; from door decorations, to centerpieces, to the tree, to even how you wrap your gifts. The colors in an old-fashioned Christmas are the traditional reds and greens. Muting these colors invokes a feeling of history. Instead of stark white, use ivories and the look of unbleached muslin. Think Americana, with cranberry and faded dusky hues, denim, rose, and pine green..

Where to find your decorations? If you are looking for actual old authentic pieces think garage sales, thrift and antique stores. Summer is the time to go to garage sales, so think about your decorating scheme all year round. Even in thrift or antique stores, picking up items off-season gives you a better selection and lower price. If you find new things that will work, make them look old by distressing and aging through tea-dyes.
Put your mindset back to earlier times. What do you remember most from your past Christmas? Many things were handmade, so look for things that look hand crafted. Old children's' toys are a good background to begin with. An old wagon or rocking horse will evoke memories of times past. You can fill the wagon with your packages. Prop the horse in front of the tree and set a few stuffed animals on it. A train-track around the tree will also give you an old-fashioned feeling.
When you decorate your Christmas presents, go back to an earlier time. Bags were not a part of old fashioned Christmas. Think vintage wrapping paper, or use brown craft paper to wrap everything.
Some old-fashioned Christmases were elegant, but most were simple and brought the outdoors inside. Bring in lots of evergreen cuttings. You can still use an artificial tree, but in this case it should be one of the newer models that mimic closely what is natural outside. When decorating the tree think of what was in homes of long ago. Candle light, homemade ornaments, a few expensive one of kind glass ornaments, popcorn and cranberries strung on thread, paper chains and paper ornaments. Stay away from intricate and fancy ornaments, which were rarely seen in olden days. Tinsel was generally popular in the
You do not have to spend a lot create an old-fashioned Christmas in your home. You can find many items in attics, basements, at thrift sores and garage sales.

In today's age of global warming and inconvenient truths, why not get something like a 50 Multi Pinecone Christmas LED Lights Set.

These are United States UL approved lights, for 120 volts performance. These are long lasting and energy saving, compared to normal lights. That takes care of the late evening and night.

Christmas wreaths may be fresh as well as artificial. Typically evergreen plants have been used to make Christmas wreaths. Plants like holly, ivy and mistletoes, not only remain green throughout the year, but also bear fruit in the winter. So a wreath made of these at Christmas, signifies new and everlasting life, in keeping with the story of Jesus. Today with the degreening of the earth, there are concerns of destroying trees, and so we have very natural looking artificial wreaths that are now available to decorate your door. You can also make a wreath yourself from dried plants and branches, and decorate it with berries. This is a biodegradable thing and one need not worry about adding to the plastics of the world.
Finally we come to the decorations inside your home. LED lights may also be used to light up the area around and within your Christmas tree. While Origami Christmas decorations made personally by someone in the family would undoubtedly be the best thing, in today's world, of both parents working and school pressures, it's probably a great idea to plan in advance and buy your Christmas Decorations from some special places.
There is a "twelve days of Christmas" ornament collection from Vaillancourt Folk Art. Twelve distinctive and wonderful figurines depicting the twelve days of Christmas, maybe collected through the year, so as to not cause a dent in the pocketbook in December, and makes a great addition to your Christmas display.
Some exquisite red, yellow and green Chinese lanterns are popular Christmas decorations as well, and these come with wonderful designs that gleam brightly when the lantern is lit up. St Nicholas figurines, and a black Santa can add something new to the usual decorations. There are figurines of a knight in shining armor, there is a Santa-coming-through-the-chimney figurine, and there are interesting chandeliers you can hang on your tree, with a Joyeux Noel Angel presiding from atop the tree.
Should you be planning to do a nativity Scene, there are several glass ornaments, and Vaillancourt Folk Art chalk figures that you can use.

Christmas in July - Fun Facts and History!
Interestingly, the earliest reference for the phrase 'Christmas in July' was in July 1933 at a girl's summer camp in North Carolina USA. The term later gained momentum with the release of the Hollywood movie comedy 'Christmas in July' in 1940. Later in 1942, the Calvary Baptist Church in the USA celebrated 'Christmas in July' featuring a sermon 'Christmas Presents in July' which also included the erection of a Christmas tree, which by the end of the sermon would be covered with donations and gifts from the congregation. The donations and gifts are then distributed to missions worldwide. In 1946 this annual service began to be broadcast over local radio. It was not until the 1950's that American advertisers lead the way for "Christmas in July" themes for sales.

While the Yulefest has become an incredibly popular annual Australian non-official holiday season, Christmas in July in Copenhagen, Denmark at Bakken is quite unique, featuring the annual World Santa Claus Congress. Bakken is a popular amusement park where hundreds of Santas, Mrs Clauses and elves from around the world come together to be jolly at this festival each year. They hold parades and love to go to the beach for an annual beach paddle. It's known to be quite amusing to see all these Santas at the beach. The King of Santas for the year is named during this 'Christmas in July festival' and many challenging issues are discussed like what is Santa's true homeland and what size presents should be given! There are even belly shaking chuckle competitions as part of the festivities at this fun event.
Here are some universal thoughts on some of the symbols related to Christmas in July:
- Red is the main colour of Christmas in July - represents the magical flow of life, the blood that flows within all of us - so remember to let your love, passion and energy flow. Commit to show your love a little more each day and do what you do, no matter how insignificant you may consider it, with a little more love and enthusiasm each day and you will discover a new passion for life within you and a new flow of energy.
- The second colour of Christmas in July is green - greenery reminds us to honour the everlasting transformative element of nature. Everything is radiating energy. Energy does not die it merely transforms. Green soothes our heart knowing we are part of an endless cycle that disburses and rebirths anew.
- The combination of Red and Green on the colour wheel - red and green are opposites and opposites create balance. These two prominent colours of Christmas in July draw us to a deep unconscious connection to harmony and peace that we all seek within. The Christmas wreath has both red and green and is tied with a ribbon to remind us that we are all tied together; we belong to each other!

The history of Halloween goes back 2000 years. Many believe that Halloween's origins are found in the Celtic festival of Samhain. The Celts, who were located in Ireland, the UK and the northern parts of France, celebrated their New Year on the first of November. Samhain was celebrated the night before the New Year.

Why Do We Celebrate Halloween - The Spookiest Holiday Of The Year
The New Year, Celts believed, marked summer's end, harvest time, and the start of dark, cold winter months. Those winter months were associated with death by these people. On October 31, the night before the New Year, the Celts celebrated Samhain. This day, they believed, was when the ghosts of the deceased returned to earth because the boundaries between the living world and the dead world blurred.

When we think of "Trick-Or-Treating", the origins can probably be found in the English All Souls' Day parades. During these celebrations, the poor would come out and beg for food from the more wealthy families. When the families gave them pastries called "soul cakes", they asked for the poor to pray for their relatives that had passed away.
Another possibility that may have grown into "Trick-Or-Treating" is the tradition of people leaving bowls of food in front of their homes. They did this to keep the ghosts that were wandering the earth from entering.
Dressing in costumes has a couple possible origins. European and Celtic people both felt winter was a frightening time. It was cold, it was darker, and the possibility of running out of food was great. When they reached the time when they thought the dead returned, they thought they might encounter these ghosts whenever they left their houses. The wearing of masks and costumes grew from these people donning masks so the ghosts would not recognize them!
This holiday was brought to the US by Scotch and Irish immigrants in the 1800s. At that time, much of the "spookiness" of the holiday was removed and a sense of community and fun were added. Although scary themes are still the focus of many Halloween celebrations, that scariness is done for fun, not because of actual fear.
Halloween is currently the 2nd largest commercial holiday!

The Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree is a world-wide symbol of the holidays in New York City. The tree, traditionally a Norway Spruce, is illuminated by 30,000 environmentally friendly LED lights on five miles of wire, and crowned by a Swarovski crystal star. Tens of thousands crowd the sidewalks for the event and hundreds of millions watch the Tree Lighting Ceremony broadcast live across the globe. The tree will be illuminated from 5:30 A.M. - 11:30 P.M. daily, all day (24 hours) on Christmas Day and 5:30 A.M. - 9 P.M. on New Year's Eve. A replica of the Swarovski crystal star can be purchased in the Top of the Rock gift shop to bring home to your Christmas tree.

Visiting the Christmas Tree
My best tip, when visiting the tree, is to enter Rockefeller Center from the 5th Avenue side and walk through the horn-blowing Angels toward the tree. Entering from the side, 47th or 50th streets is just not the same view or experience. The Rockefeller Center map will clarify exactly how to do this so you don't spoil your first view of the tree. It's truly a sight to walk through the Angels, toward the Ice Skating Rink, looking at Prometheus.
Rockefeller Center Ice Skating
The Ice Rink at Rockefeller Center has been a quintessential NYC winter experience for generations. Skate under the watchful eye of Prometheus and the unique urban backdrop of Rockefeller Center's sparkling lights. The Rink at Rockefeller Center usually opens for ice skating in October. The Rink charges both an admission fee and skate rental fee, as opposed to some other New York City ice skating rinks, which do not charge admission. However, for some, it is one of those "not to be missed" experiences.
