How long are your seasons?
I'm trying to decide if I should make my seasons longer. I would love to know what you think is the best length for seasons and why?

Thank you so much to everyone who is replying! I love the Seasons pack and it’s cool to see how others are playing. Using the calendar to make a winter and summer break is an amazing idea I never thought of, I’m going to try that too. I’m thinking of 14 days and more holidays, or 28 days with weeks off.
Which holidays do you have for your seasons?
I’ve got for Spring: Easter, Valentine’s Day, Earth Day
Summer: Summerfest, 1 week Summer Break
Autumn: Spooky Day, Harvestfest, Remembrance Day
Winter: Winter Fest, New Year’s Eve, 1 week Winter Break
I think on my next save, I'm going to move some days around, but at the moment
Spring - Love day (valentine's) and Spring Romance Festival (they happen to be one right after the other, so I made it a weekend) I used to have Easter, but I could never settle on what traditions I wanted, and didn't want to revise it for the times I didn't have kids in the house.
Summer: 2 days summer break, summerfest, and then two more days of summer break. I used to have Pride in there too, but again, couldn't settle on what I wanted to do for that that wasn't Summerfest Redux.
Autumn: just Fright Fest and Harvestfest.
Winter: Winterfest, 2 days of winter break and New Year's eve. They defaulted to the second week of winter, but next save I'll put them at the end of the first week.
I also have a no-tradition, no day off GeekCon for each season, because I'll sometimes have my sims take the day off and go, and I always forget when it's coming up (and it doesn't overlap with any other holidays, unlike the Spice Festival.)
