It was challenging back then\u2014if not impossible\u2014to gather the entire family on December\u00a025 in the event of a snowstorm. So, the big family gathering was postponed to July, which was historically the time when most workers took their summer holidays in Quebec. The warm weather also made it easier to host relatives for the night, who would sleep outside in tents. Decadent meals, gifts, and music came together to recreate the holiday magic over the course of a warm summer day. In short, this unique event was created to adapt to Quebec\u2019s climate and allow everybody to celebrate. You can sing \u201cLet it snow\u201d all you want, but there\u2019s no need to shovel!<\/p>\n<p>As stated in its name, Christmas in July takes place halfway through the year, which is the perfect time to check in on New Year\u2019s resolutions. The summer sun shines, a balmy breeze blows, and holiday carols play in the background, reminding you of the resolutions made last winter. How often did you hit the neighbourhood gym?
