My assertion actually was that there is absolutely no reason whatsoever for
anything to be celebrated on the 24th June. Tradition is not a reason. The
24th June has no real signifigance. At all.

Except that it's a Quarter Day which has some legal significance and
its name (as a Quarter Day) is Midsummer Day. It's also the feast od
St. john the Baptist.

I agree it's not the summer solstice though. :-)
