I dread Christmas-in-Summer more than the plague.

It's 98° right now...hardly conducive to Christmas shopping...

@Drewps5co0tt I look forward to CIJ, and I don't care if they start it a little early.

I truly enjoy watching many of the Christmas in July shows. I might not buy anything ... but I always find new ways to arrange the pieces that I do have.

I am interested to see the selection of hosts for the decor shows now that some of the more-familiar-to-me hosts are gone ....

I'm ready for it. I'll be coming out of my summer hibernation to watch.

@Kachina624 - me too. It feels like we just finished Christmas and here we go again. Christmas is a one day holiday for me. I am just not interested in a 6 month run up to a 24 hour holiday. And buying all the "stuff". The decorations. It just seems like such excess to me though I know I am in the minority on that.

I am not a Scrooge. I love giving gifts to my family and a few friends, but have cut back on that. But I am just not into buying tons of stuff to put in my house.

It doesn't do anything one way or the other for me. I ignore it all together! We have Christmas as a low-key religious event now--party and gathering days are over for us.

To everything there is a time and a season.

Since I always look forward to the Fall, my favorite season, I do not mind Christmas in June/July. By then the heat and humidity will be in my area and I will be looking for an air conditioned room!!!!!!

OMG - As @Kachina624 mentioned, I dread it more than you can imagine.

I don't understand why people want to rush their life away. Live in the present.

@Janey2 I do live in the "present". This is why I shop early for presents so I can enjoy my Christmas season.

LOVE it!!!!!!!!!!! My favorite shows. I love to shop early and get at least half my shopping done. CIJ lets me enjoy shopping without pressure when it gets close to Christmas Day.

Christmas in July puts me in my happy place. THAT, to me, gets the happy dance.

I used to love Christmas in July, but now I have too many trees, ornaments and decorations and don't need more. Plus now even on sale they are more expensive, cheaply made and too much trouble to return.

I am not phased by CIJ. I never watch it. I already have way too much Christmas junk in the basement and haven't even looked in the boxes for two years.

Way too much hype for one day. I am not buying into it. Last season, I bought gifts for only one person...and just gave cash to everyone else. Everybody loves the cash.

@Carmie Ah, bummer you have Christmas stuff you haven't looked at in a couple years. I'm sure you have some beautiful things and maybe this year you can pull them out. I'm sure it will be fun to see things you haven't seen in years.

I have to disagree with everyone loves cash. I have family members that specifically ask to not be given cash. Although I am sure most do like cash, my family seems to really like my gifts. I believe it has a lot to do with shopping early. I put a lot of thought into my gifting and only buy what I truly believe that person would like to receive. You can't wait until the last few days though.

Lastly, Christmas in not only one day. I have every decoration up by Thanksgiving weekend. That gives me several weeks to enjoy, and boy do I. Plus, we have work parties, cookie exchanges, Christmas Eve (my biggest day), Christmas Day, as well as many other random events.

It's definitely a holiday you get what you put into it. I hope you get to enjoy your decorations this coming holiday season.
