It is not uncommon to celebrate Christmas in July if you live in New Zealand. Since it is in the Southern hemisphere, December is the beginning of summer, and the weather is far from the white Christmas that many of the relocated residents are accustomed. So on July 25, when days are chilly and nights are colder, a second Christmas is celebrated. This allows for more traditional holiday meals to be served at hotels and restaurants that are too heavy to serve in summer months.
