Not only holidays.

Make Sunday Great Again.

I have fond memories of how still and tranquil Sundays were as a kid in the 60's and early 70's. Hardline retailers were closed completely all day, and grocery stores had abbreviated hours to allow for church attendance. Even though open, grocers couldn't sell certain items not related to food or baby items.

Street traffic was light and most cars were going to of from Church, or after-church lunch. It's was a nice respite for nearly everyone.

Many work places like hospitals and LE don’t shut down for the holidays. Mr. b’s LE but we never whined about him working. Fine, have the big meal before or after their shifts. Ain’t no big deal. Leave the stores open for shoppers to get out and walk the pumpkin pie off.

The blue laws were ridiculous. Try being on vacation and you forgot the can opener. Nope, sorry, can’t sell you a can opener to open a can of beans so go starve. Idiots.

How did having Sundays help other religions?
