In my parents day they had to work on holidays, and neither one worked in Retail. In my grandparents day they had to work nearly year around, and neither worked in Retail. Going back to the days of the Frontiersman, there were no retail shops, and everyone had to work every day just to have food on the table, a roof over their head, and heat in their home.

Life was a carnival! We entertained ourselves! We didn't need moooovin' pitchurrrres. In my day, there was only one show in town -- it was called "Stare at the sun!" ... That's right! You'd sit in the middle of an open field and stare up at the sun till your eyeballs burst into flames! And you thought, "Oh, no! Maybe I shouldn't've stared directly into the burning sun with my eyes wide open." But it was too late! Your head was on fire and people were roastin' chickens over it. ... And that's the way it was and we liked it!
