How would our society react to a major time-jump?

Our omniscient God has decided to intervene for (arguably, if you ask some religious people) the first time at least in a very long time.

For matters unknown to us, He has frozen all time on Earth, but has not frozen the cosmos outside of the planet; every molecule, every person, every satellite and breath of wind is frozen-in-time, let's say to the extent of the exosphere (10,000 km) for five months.

July 2015 is suddenly December 2015 according to our position around the sun, and all the other external cosmos. There will be a follow-up question about how this scientifically screws things up, but for now, I'm just asking what the general reaction would be for folks. This is set in Portland, Oregon: not an overly religious city, and not a city that panics much (looting, etc.) in bad situations; but if it's not too broad, I'd be happy for some hints on elsewhere.
