Ahhh, the “you crazy kids!” feeling that is Christmas in July. Since the 1800’s we North Americans have been guffawing at the playful mix up that only comes when you take the image of a jolly man on a sleigh in the middle of a heatwave.  Hilarious!

Especially if it means travel deals. We’ve rounded up a few travel deals for you to  take advantage of, and destinations perfect for getting in the holiday cheer.
