THE HALLOWEEN SEASON, at least in the minds of those fans who want to get an early start, has a way of revving up moments after the Fourth of July winds down. But before we can look to the pumpkins and bats and eeky atmosphere of autumn, we have another quirky occasion to pay twinkly tribute to: Halfway to the Holidays. This merry moment arrives at the end of June each year, when we are, oh yes, six months away from the heart of the Christmas season. True, it isn’t quite “Christmas in July,” but the uplifting occasion does remind us that holly dreams and peppermint parties are on their whimsical way. Disneyland Resort pauses to honor this jolly Junetime jubilee each year with a peek of what’s to come, what has sparkled in past years, and a few things fans can expect as the yuletide draws closer.
