Christmas in July?

[retexan599]

Trying to locate the music and complete lyrics to a song that (I think) is titled "Christmas in July". My recollection of it dates from about 1982 or so. I have some of the lyrics I copied from a very poor recording on an old cassette tape; the refrain is:

"There’s a little bit of Christmas in every single day,
We don’t have to have the jingle bells, the holly or the sleigh,
It’s the way we should be living, the things we do and say,
We can Have a Merry Christmas, Have a Merry Christmas,
Have a Merry Christmas, If we try…in July."

It is a peppy and fun little song, mainly I think for children. The audio tape I have is from a church Christmas program in that time period. I have no information on the names of the artists or publisher, just the song.

I did search around the web but really did not run across it. There do seem to be other songs with similar titles or themes, but not this particular one.

Thanks for help or clues...

I have posted a video on YouTube of the song I mentioned above, in case someone might recognize the tune. However, I can't post the URL here until I have made 50? posts. So...if you get to YouTube and want to check it out for me, you can search for the video title "Puppet Christmas in July"; that should bring it up for you. Thanks in advance...
