Hi, all,

I came across this article's title in slate.com

"The whole world is watching

If militants violently disrupt the GOP convention, it could be Chicago
1968 redux -- and Christmas in August for the Bush campaign"

What is the meaning of "Christmas in August"?

Regards,
AK

A time when you get a lot of presents. In other words, if the Democrat
militants go nuts at the GOP convention, that will be a gift to the
Republicans.

"It has to be big", Tyler says. "Picture this: you on top of the world’s
tallest building, the whole building taken over by Project Mayhem. Smoke
rolling out of the windows. Desks falling into the crowds on the street.
A real opera of death, that’s what you’re going to get."  -+Chuck
