Holidays

From Homestar Runner Wiki

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 Fool's Day and Labor Day, also known as Labor Dabor. The most celebrated holidays however, are Halloween and Decemberween, the latter of which is a parody of Christmas, possibly created for viewers of other religions.

Holidays

Valentine's Day

A depressing time for Strong Sad, and possibly even Strong Bad, Valentine's Day is the day the citizens of Free Country USA realize just how empty their lives really are.

• Mentioned in Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 6
• Referenced in Strong Sad's Lament, in a post on February 14th, 2003, complete with a short Powered By The Cheat animation titled 'vday.swf', depicting Valentine's Day.
