This must be because the economy is doing SO well, right?
This is not a reflection of the current economic situation. Amazon helped further turn July into sort of a "Black Friday" sales month back in 2015 with its first Prime Day event. "Christmas in July" sales had also been going on even before that. These types of sales have occurred in both good and bad economic periods.
