Agreed. But we do have a summer holiday — it's political, rather than religions, but it happens to fll at the warmest and brightest time of year, and we celebrate it with ripe fruit and summer greens and young fowl and fresh salmon...
Maybe its a coincidence that the 4th of July stuck in the claendar in wyas that Veterans Day or D-Day have't. And maybe its a coincidence that we celebrate strawberry season with shortcake festivals and bazaars, and the Mohicans had an early summer strawberry festival. I think we tend to want to celebrate the seasons of the year in one way or another, and we don't just swipe each other's holidays: if our traditions don't give us a holiday when the rhythms of the year suggest one, then we find one somewhere.
