Holidays in June
June signifies the official beginning of summer. There are June bugs and and girls named June. June is a popular month for wedddings and is one of three months beginning with the letter “J”. As summer slowly sets in to the mental psychee and the days get longer and hotter, the days of June are filled with picnics and outdoor cafes and trips to the mall to revamp your summer wardrobe.
The first day of summer is in June – it can either fall on June 20, 21, 22 – depending. It is also called Summer Solstice and it is the longest day of the year.
June is a great month to graduate, drink a lychee martini, flip a coin, eat cherries, jump rope, wear flip flops.
