Boy the way the Bee Gees played…
It’s still a 4-day weekend, with lots of yummy foods.
Kids are a bit young for that. 
He is signing letters of transit.

What is so horrible about a Hallowe’en party instead of trick-or-treating? TorTing is not an ancient tradition. When my parents were kids in the 1930s, they went to parties and had a great time.

Why would Archie and Edith’s generation be nostalgic about Hoover? I thought he was the scapegoat for the Depression. FDR seems a more likely hero…but that wouldn’t fit the meter of the song. Still.

Movies John Travolta made
Guessing how much Elvis weighed
Those were the days…
Hoobert Heever wasn’t a Commie and he never stuffed anything but his face, as opposed to that Red FDR who grew the Federal government beyond all measure.
FDR was not universally loved in his own time.
Did we ever find out what a “kid-friendly” holiday is?
'Cause if it’s cutting crappy patterns out of construction paper, I’m happy to report that the crappy construction paper turkeys in the windows of the primary school on my block have been replaced with crappy construction paper snowflakes and snowmen. There’s even a candy cane or 200.
This seems like an OP in the spirit of the “War on Christmas”. There ain’t one. Get over it.
I miss when we used to get all the boys lined up and circumcised them. It wasn’t kid-“friendly,” but it was certainly kid-centric. Seriously, I’m still not sure what the OP is talking about. Kids’ activities for most holidays don’t seem to have been a focus of cultural attention for very long. Granted the (Laura) Ingalls family had a stern and jealous god, but with the exception of a few small Christmas presents and *maybe * something for birthdays (?), weren’t most holidays spent sitting motionless in one’s itchy wool best dress, not scratching?
Nope, you got it backwards, but that’s just like you isn’t it.
In Little House in the Big Woods, the Ingalls children spent most of the day making snow angels with their cousins. Almanzo has an awesome-sounding snow war with his relatives in Farmer Boy. I think the sitting-stll-being-bored thing was from Farmer Boy, and concerned Sunday. Laura mentions being bored at church in These Happy Golden Years, but doesn’t say anything about the rest of Sunday being boring.
