other users, see also, Christmas in July discussions. i'm out as of today. Some thing 20:32, 29 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Reference II[edit]

I'm not sure about the addition of this references: Samuels, Brian. Aspects of Australian Folklife Is this a credible external source? It seems undated. And crucially, it is not about Christmas, and not about Australian customs. As far as I can tell, it is about the unique customs of South Australia. It seems to have been referenced because it briefly mentions continued celebtration of "Midsummer" bonfires in June. But what has that got to do with Christmas? It is continuation of a different Northern Hemisphere celebration: that of "Midsummer", not Christmas. Format (talk) 18:34, 4 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Section discussed above now moved to Midsummer. Format (talk) 07:43, 8 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merge Proposal[edit]

The term "Midwinter Christmas" is not the correct term for the marketing celebration in Australia and New Zealand. Christmas in July is the appropriate term in use in those countries. The Christmas in July article is therefore the appropriate place to describe this, not "Midwinter Christmas". -- B.D.Mills (T, C) 01:31, 21 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
