"Half Way To Christmas" is offensive to me.

So many ways to promote the Angels without this.

I thought this was going to be about the BREXIT vote.

BTW - Good choice for a screen name.

What visual graphics are they using with this ad?
Remember, in the states, Christmas is both a cultural mindset as well as a religious celebration. So, maybe the copywriter only meant it metaphorically; “Something great and wonderful” is happening now! I don’t see any great harm.

It’s just horrible. In order to atone, they should send Mike Trout to the Phillies. :^)

I am not offended. Got some free tickets from the sales staff at work for tomorrow night’s game, so “Go Angels!”

Well, you could go to Noble Aleworks near the stadium and watch it there (and catch both the stadium fireworks and Disneyland’s fireworks as well..)

Great movie!

I heard the news about a “Xmas in June” promotion at Angel stadium on KLAA last week. I thought:
Lame promotion that is just not right.
But then again, people are starving for Christian holidays and well, “Xmas in June” fills the need a little bit.

Thankfully, Catholics have ten feast days every day. Today is the feast day of the Birth of John the Baptist. This is a good day for Baptist Cakes from Vermont and St. John’s Wort leaves for a door decoration.

I actually enjoy Christmas in July on the Hallmark Channel. I love the holiday season and it’s so hot in AZ in July that I enjoy watching wintry movies!

I’ve seen minor league ball teams do “Christmas In July.” They take up a collection for Toys for Tots. It can be done tastefully.
