It's official, retail is trying to create a new holiday in July to boost sales.
Which, suspiciously, is when Amazon's Anniversary Sale is...

Christmas in July isn't a new phenomenon. Perhaps more stores are getting into it, but QVC and HSN shopping channels have been doing Christmas in July sales for years, offering both holiday decorations and gift items. Likewise, the Christmas movies on the Hallmark channel aren't anything new.

For those of us in the Northern Hemisphere, it just seems like a fun thing to think about winter holidays and cold weather at the height of summer.

My mom worked in a fabric store back in the 70s and 80s, and she said they always had "Christmas in July" sales to remind folks who make homemade gifts that they'd better get started - Christmas wasn't all that far away if you're hand-crafting your gifts!

We start advertising Layaway for Christmas in April. Most of our customers that use this are people who like not having to paying interest charges on their credit cards. Especially right after Christmas.

I worked in retail in the mid-80s and we always had Christmas In July sales. They were pretty popular, and we actually had good pricing. Usually lasted just one weekend.

So that's what happened! I wondered why my email opened up, and it said that "something happened at your [my] end."

Since Amazon owns Woot, how convenient they can have Woot's sale the day before their Prime Day sale.

We're two days into this sale, and so far I find it less appealling than their everyday specials.

Walmart decided to take on Amazon this Wednesday with its own Black Friday event, to include "special atomic deals" (whatever that means).
