After hearing reasons for a Family Day, thinking back a few decades, I realized we had a Family Day, a day most families could be together, eat together, and have fun together. The most stores were closed, most sports didn’t start until after noon... that day was called Sunday.
All the reasons for a Family Day now are pretty much those we lost when we gave up Sunday as our day of rest. People didn’t spend more with stores open seven days a week, it was just spread over more days. More jobs were not created because all stores were one-seventh less busy.
And that Family Day was every week, not once a year.
