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.
