'''Holidays''' are a big part of [[Free Country, USA]], with holidays such as Mother's Day and Flag Day. Some of the more prevalent holidays are unlikely choices, such as April Fools' Day and Labor Day, also known as Labor Dabor. The most celebrated holidays, however, are [[Halloween]] and [[Decemberween]], the latter of which appears to be a euphemism for Christmas, possibly created for viewers of religions other than Christianity.

Holiday in Free Country, USA

Holidays are a big part of Free Country, USA, with holidays such as Mother's Day and Flag Day. Some of the more prevalent holidays are unlikely choices, such as April Fools' Day and Labor Day, also known as Labor Dabor. The most celebrated holidays, however, are Halloween and Decemberween, the latter of which appears to be a euphemism for Christmas.

  • Eggs (2007) — This toon was left unfinished for six years.
  • DNA Evidence (2007) Homsar concludes with the line, "AaAaAa, these Easter pants are getting waAaAy too tight!"

[edit] The Cheat's "Cheatday" (April 18)

[edit] Record Store Day (third Saturday in April)

A day about celebrating the cultivation of record stores everywhere.
