I'm starting to see Christmas in July to be advertised. It won't be long before retail pushes that as a time where we socially have to buy gifts for people and we won't even know why lol

Like 30 years ago my grandma used to host a family reunion in July, and we always called it Christmas in July. And then my grocery store had like 3 shopping carts of Christmas decorations labeled Christmas in July, but it was all old crap they wanted to move. What are companies trying to advertise with this that you have seen? Just curious, I don't see many ads honestly.

I can't remember the ad I saw, it was on a billboard while I was driving a couple of weeks ago but here's a link to a semi popular deals website in Australia to confirm my suspicions hehe (yes I am Australian)
