Summer holiday: its probably to hot for school.
Winter holiday: its probably too snowy to get to school safely.
Easter holiday: go pretend to care about religion instead of school.
Autumn holiday: go help your family get ready for winter instead of school.
You saw snow? I’m in my 40s in Southern California, and I can confidently say that I’ve only witnessed snowfall a handful of times before it completely melted away. Throw a snowball for me?

So time off was never part of the equation.
In my country at least, summer holidays were used to help bringing in the harvest.
