Ok so I understand “fashionably late,” but six months?? That’s, like, second trimester late. There’s new evidence that the “Christmas star” (not to be confused with one “Jesus Christ Superstar”) appeared 2,000 years ago, meaning Jesus was born June 17, NOT Dec 25. How could this happen? Did Mary fudge his birthday? If so, where’s the logic in that? I thought moms generally made their kids OLDER so they could start school a little early. Maybe she didn’t want him to have a summer bday? I always felt bad for the kids who had those; they really got the shaft. It’s hard to have a successful party when you have no forum to give out your Lisa Frank invites. Still, they could always have pool parties, which I was always jealy about. Even in FL, my January pool party never came to fruition. I’m still bitter.

I think I got sidetracked. Anyways, this study prob has as much credence as using science to try and prove God’s existence. In any event, I think we accepted Christmas in December without question because that’s loads more vacay time. We always had summers off as kids, so imagine the stretch from Labor Day to Memorial Day if there was no break in between? Scary. Schools would be over-diagnosing ADHD! Wait…they might already do that. Well it would def be bad for the candy cane manufacturers. Peppermint just doesn’t scream “summer!”, I don’t care how much they try and pitch it as, “the perfect compliment to your poolside Corona.”

It would be pretty sweet for the shipping industry, though. Can you imagine how many parents would pay through the NOSE to make sure their kids got their Christmas presents at summer camp? Talk about care packages.

Wait, do non-Jews GO to summer camp? If not, candy cane conglomerates are really the only ones who suffer with this whole “move Christmas to June” thing. I guess they (AKA The Man) can just go ahead and make the switch. Those conglomerates wield wayyy too much power as it is.
