Christmas in July Giveaway Hop

Posted on by Marlene Harris

Welcome to the Christmas in July Giveaway Hop, hosted by Bookhounds!

What do you think of the whole Xmas in July idea? I don’t celebrate Xmas, so to me the whole idea of doing it in July too feels rather blatantly commercial. Potentially a whole lot of fun, but if there’s any holiday that feels like a “Hallmark holiday” instead of a real one, this is probably it.  That Amazon has ganged onto for their Prime Day in July promotions just adds to that impression.

Although there is something ironic – at least here in the Northern Hemisphere – about celebrating a holiday that is normally accompanied by chilly weather and even snow at a time of the year when we’re more likely to be getting record-setting high temperatures than even a cool breeze.

Still, any chance to give or get presents is probably a good one. Hence this giveaway hop, and my usual rafflecopter giveaway of the winner’s choice of a $10 Amazon Gift Certificate or a $10 Book from the Book Depository. This giveaway is open to anywhere the Book Depository ships.

  2. I love this idea. I am watching Christmas movies as we speak. I love Christmas!

  8. I like it, with 5 kids it gets me started and I need starting early watching for the sales.

  15. I enjoy it–especially because I get to watch many of the Christmas movies I enjoy in the summer!

  29. I think we have enough of Christmas since they put things out so early beforehand that we don’t need it in July also.

  33. I like it. I have been looking through my wishlist on Amazon for Prime Day looking for Christmas present ideas.

  36. I like Christmas in July. I find all kinds of goodies that I like for presents…so I can treat myself to some stuff that I really like and want!

  40. I think of it more as back to school shopping time, rather than Christmas in July.

  42. Having worked in retail (way) back when I was young, I’ve always just viewed it as a way to generate interest during a slump period. Linking it to Christmas doesn’t bother me. As a customer, I like the opportunity to find early sales, even if most of my purchases end up being for me!

    Thanks for the giveaway opportunity.

  43. I thought it was a little weird when I saw Hallmark is airing a bunch of Christmas movies in July, definitely not the time of year I’m in the mood for them, but if it brings a little mid-year cheer to someone else watching them, that’s a good thing.

  46. I think it’s a fun idea. Especially for families with little kids. You can turn it into a family event and even give presents to unsuspecting people/friends/family/strangers. Impress upon kids the idea of giving all year around.

  47. I love Christmas in July because it gives me a taste of my favorite holiday!

  49. Waiting 12 months for such a fantastic holiday as Christmas is hard. Having a Christmas in July makes the wait not feel as hard a feat to manage. 🙂

  50. “What do you think of the idea of Xmas in July?” I think it’s an excellent idea! Every day should be Xmas, with gifts galore!

  59. It would be to hot to do like I usually do with shopping and decorating at my age.

  66. Every year I think “what a great idea.” I intend to start early. I craft a lot of my Christmas decorations and gifts. Nonetheless, I think I have loads of time. Every December I’m scrambling.

  67. I never minded it – it isn’t like everyone’s breaking out their decorations or the like, so it’s cool.

  69. I think Christmas is better in December – doesn’t feel like Christmas when it’s 100 degrees.

  72. I find it a bit strange, but for christmas craft projects it’s good to get an early start.

  75. Christmas in July has always been extra fun to have during the year? Santa in a Hawaiian outfit sipping a piña colada!? I mean, come on!!! It is awesome, and more presents and celebration is certainly not terrible!!!

  86. I like the idea of Christmas in July so I can take advantage of all the great sales prices!

  88. I like XMas in July, who doesn’t like presents, and books is all I want for Christmas :):):) thank you so much for this opportunity 🙂

  91. I don’t like it… it just reminds me that Christmas is right around the corner! 😛

  93. Not a fan of Christmas in July. I don’t even like Christmas in December so why do it more than once.

  95. Christmas is my favorite holiday, but I am not sure I could handle two different ones!!!!

  97. It’s a bit confusing. But I’ll welcome it for the chance to win a few items to treat myself 🙂

  98. It’s fun to dream of snow when the temperature outside is pushing 100. Also, the world could use peace and goodwill toward men year-round, not just in July or at Christmas.

  100. I like the reminder that the hot summer weather will eventually end!
    Thanks for the giveaway!

  103. What do you think of the idea of Xmas in July?

    to me one Xmas is more than fine,i get overdose of food and candy…. and i cant do that again!!!

  104. Sure why not, if you can and want to do that do it, nothing wrong in not participating either.

  108. I feel similar to you. I don’t really celebrate christmas. But if Christmas in July gives people a reason to spend time together then I am all for it.

  109. I think people put too much emphasis on Christmas and buying stuff but I have to admit I like the sale prices.

  110. I think xmas in July is great for adults because truthfully, adults need to get surprises once in a while too.

  121. I like it – we usually do a Christmas in July cookie exchange because you can’t ever go wrong with cookies!
