It's not that simple, of course. It also depends on just how distant the potential candidates are. To use your example: if, on Monday, I refer to "next Sunday" it's quite likely that I *do* mean "six days from now".
While I wouldn't take "next March" today to refer to something only three weeks away, I would still interpret "next September" or "next Christmas" to mean 2007, not 2008.
