DoorGunner Posted September 16, 2021 Report Share Posted September 16, 2021 99 Days till CHRISTMAS. Did you know? The very first Christmas in July was celebrated at Keystone Camp in Brevard, North Carolina during the summer of 1933. The all girls summer camp held a Christmas in July weekend celebration complete with carolers, a Christmas Tree, fake snow, a gift exchange and even a surprise visit from Santa Claus himself. The camp continued the tradition for years and it eventually spread across the country. During the 1940's Christmas in July was promoted by the government to encourage people to send gifts to soldiers overseas and to stimulate the economy.
