Christmas in July?

World Santa Claus Congress in July. Went to a Danish amusement park where this took place - Santas from all over the world gathering. Seems absurd, why are they doing this?

maybe it's like that protoss unit that merges into a superpowerful templar avatar: are they trying to morph in the Ultimate Santa Claus?

What, you need an ROI analysis for the Santa Claus Congress? That's like begging for a piece of coal! Shut up you idiot!

darkripper, you know Ultimate Santa Claus would be totally pwned by Rudolph's nose shine ability. Just make sure you get up a Winter Workshop fast so you can research it. Watch out for elfling rushes, though.

Friends of mine have a 'Christmas in July' party every year.

Check out the annual Christmas in July Festival (West Jefferson, North Carolina).

Christmas in July (1940 film).

Wikipedia: Christmas in July.

Google: Christmas in July.

Parents at the festival don't have to stop the lie at "Santa Claus is real." They can go turbo: "Santa Claus is real and he has clones!"
