    Sometimes I feel also because it’s just more pleasant to celebrate when the weather is nice.

    A good example is Luxembourg which just decided to have it’s national day in June because why not:

    It is celebrated on 23 June, although this has never been the actual birthday of any ruler of Luxembourg.

      Britain has also been doing that since at least Edward VII. His mother, Queen Victoria was born in late May so there was no need for this type of trickery.
