Petals Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Do not think it was the poms influence, it was a marketing opportunity they started several years ago, the christmas shop which is near us and others around the place started it to get more sales throughout the year.

It could have well been the poms that started it. I don't know where it originated from. I do remember my grandmother saying they used to have it in the retirement village she used to live in. She was a pom, and not a convict, she went as a free 3 yr old during WWI, haha but maybe it was the old pommy ones that started it as they missed the winter Xmas. Think it had some American influence as well. You gave got me thinking now, maybe I will start an Xmas in July over here, just need to pick a good weekend where we will have sunshine and 30deg temps. I know the Hoff will come to my Xmas in July BBQ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
