It’s not Christmas in July, it’s not Christmas.. but to a kid who was off for summer, it’s the best day of the year.
I say this based on my own experience..
I fondly remember this day throughout my early childhood and then teenage years. June 25.. the day when the summer was hot and heavy, but in the scheme of things, still with so much more to go.
The clock starts to tick away after June 25, of course.. we head into July.. the middle of summer and time off from school.. But by July 25 you’d often be insulted and angered seeing “Back to school” sales.. August? well that is just a waste. Each day grows faster.. every night gets longer.. and by the time you’re ready to look at a calender again it’s already Labor Day and school begins anew..
I get melancholy for those old days of my early life often. Especially on June 25ths. The best day of summer…
