I saw this once in the late 50s/early 60s, a show about a couple of people who celebrated Christmas in July – dressing up as Santa, ringing bells on street corners and singing about how Christmas came but twice a year. People thought they were nuts, but in the end they taught everyone a lesson of some sort.

And, no, it’s not **Christmas in July** , which has nothing to do with Christmas.
