Why are there Christmas countdown calendars but not end of school year countdowns?

I've noticed that there are advent calendars for counting down to Christmas, but they don't sell end-of-school-year countdown calendars. Why is this?

Because not everybody ends school at the same time as others; while the people in my area get out of school in late May, a lot of other schools else where might not get out until mid-to-late June.

True, but you could just start counting the days off later or earlier, which ever.

One does not need to outgrow counting down to the end of the school year, does he or she?

I think it's just not a good PR product, it encourages bad feelings towards school, and kids have to go, hehe.

If it involves chocolate, it's always a good idea. I say make your own and sell them!
