The Wauwatosa Historical Society is hosting a fundraiser with the theme “Christmas in July”

WAUWATOSA — It's the most wonderful time of the year…after all, it's the time to be merry. That's because Christmas is in July!

Even though it's sunny and 24 degrees outside (and there are still 5 months until December), we are preparing for the arrival of Santa Claus.

The Wauwatosa Historical Society hosts a Christmas in July fundraiser. They sell all donated Christmas decorations to raise money to continue their work.

But Christmas decorations aren't the only thing you can buy. The historical society also sells items for Halloween, Thanksgiving, Easter and Día De Muertos.

It is part of a three-day fundraising campaign running from July 25 to 27.

According to the commercial Christmas czars, Hallmark has three possible origins of the holiday: the way people in the Southern Hemisphere celebrate their summer, a summer camp party from the 1930s, and a summer-themed Christmas movie.

For more information about the Christmas in July fundraiser, visit the Historical Society’s website.
