[COLOR=GREEN]Christmas in July, alternatively Holiday(s) in July in the United States, is a party concept exploited as a marketing opportunity.[citation needed] It generally occurs during the month of July coincidentally near July 26, the feast day of Saint Joachim and Saint Anne, the grandparents of Jesus.
In Western culture, Christmas occurs on December 25. With Christmas generally comes gift-giving and much holiday cheer. During the summer months in the northern hemisphere, the weather becomes increasingly warm and many people crave the atmosphere of cooler temperatures, gift giving, and holiday spirit. To satisfy this craving, some people throw parties during the month of July that mimic the holiday of Christmas. Features of Christmas in July include Santa Claus, ice cream and other cold foods, and gifts. Often nightclubs host parties open to the public.
In many western countries, July has few marketing opportunities, so to justify sales, shops, such as Leon's (in Canada) will sometimes announce a "Christmas in July" sale.
Technically, if one wanted to hold an event to mark the halfway point in between consecutive Christmases, one should hold the event on June 24 (Midsummer in Europe, Nativity of St. John the Baptist for Catholics), which is seven days before the month of July. Thus, theoretically, the name should be "Christmas in June". However, Christmas and December are generally equated with colder temperatures and in the Northern Hemisphere the average temperatures in July are generally higher than those in June, thus the name Christmas in July is appropriate. In addition, the Scandinavian word for Yule is Jul, which happens to be the abbreviation for July in English. Additionally, July is the seventh month, seven being an important number in Christian doctrine[/COLOR]

Oh My! Thanks SOOO much for advancing me! I'm so humbled and so honored to be among such wonderfully talented, Spirit-filled folks! The choice of song for me will be easy, as my all-time favorite Christmas song is O HOLY NIGHT. I'll get it recorded and submitted as soon as possible. Thanks again....and God bless you all!

I too would like to congratulate those movingon to Round 3 as well as EVERYONE from Round 2. Having to score last rounds entries was one of the most difficult things I have ever had to do.
I ended up listening to songs over and over and my scores (out of 10) were often only 1/10th apart from each other. I even played some of your tunes to my sister yesterday, who sings with her husband semi-professionally, to seek her opinion.
PLEASE, PLEASE do not become discouraged if you did not advance to round 3. Everyone has a different style and not one was better than another .... just different.
I have thoroughly enjoyed listening to each of you, and reading your testimonies was so inspiring!
You are all #1 in my book! (and God's too, you know!)
(Now .... wonder if I can get out of judging for round 3!!!! I bet not.)

(Now we are all at your mercy. Hope there are no Simon Cowell's amongst us!!! LOL)

God humbled me EVEN more after I said I'd sing my favorite Christmas song...only to get on here today and hear that two other AWESOMELY TALENTED folks have done the same song. After listening to doughboy sing it first and then hearing Angelicvoice sing it and own up to her screen name (She definitely DOES have a voice of an angel)...I almost changed my mind. But, as I was trying to decide on another song, God got hold of me (and you know how it is when THAT happens - LOL) and led me back to the original direction He had told me to go in the first place. So...here's MY version of this ever-so-awesome and ever-so-popular song!
O HOLY NIGHT
