"Christmas in mid - what? Did you say, 'Christmas in mid-summer!?"

Yes, I did-and I know that to you, with the first snow flurries already here and mid-winter just round the corner, that sounds topsy-turvey. In my country, Christmas does come in midsummer; and, what is more, it comes on December 25 just as it does with you! And, what is still more, daffodils bloom in August, and log fires burn in June, and ---, but why not come with me and see for yourself?
