Christmas In July
Christmas is the time of year that fits the summer's heat
And Christmas cards are warmer by and by
The harvest of the summer is a healthy time to eat
When Christmas makes a stand in late July
The folks are rising early in the Northern Hemisphere
And travel is a cinch to pull you through
The glow of Christmas morning is a joyful atmosphere
And Santa Claus is dressed in baggies too
The message of the Magi is a hopeful one indeed
And love is more than winter’s give or take
The story of a Savior is a happy one to read
And blue skies are more friendly for His sake
The blessed time of Christmas is a reason to expand
And merry congregations stand nearby
To welcome one another with a firm and steady hand
That rocks the baby’s cradle in July.
