       I haven’t really considered that given children play few roles in my stories. Aside from Christmas and Tyrant’s Day, I don’t have any other holidays celebrated for the benefit of children. I may have to fix that.

       I will admit there is a section in one of my stories where school kids are running along an airstrip, cheering on the main characters as they fulfill their mission, where minutes later they are atomized when the airstrip (and the whole city they were in) got carpet nuked into oblivion…..But they got better.

       None of the holiday traditions in any of my works of fiction exist for the sake of children. Historically, holiday celebrations were not child friendly. Given that most of my fiction is fantasy in a "past" - esque setting, this does not lend to child friendly anything.That being said, the emergence of that type of cultural shift is present in Wand Smoke, particularly in "Rebirth" as a consequence of economic development.

       I think I mentioned something of the sort once, in a kind of off-hand manner, but I don't remember what it was. It was a glossed-over flavor, not a fleshed out observation

       I'm writing a government overreach dystopia novel 4 - 6 hours a day right now. Holidays have been removed from society. The children don't even know their own parents. Just government assigned caregivers. But, the resistance to the government in this world includes rediscovering family values, holidays, and an independent (of the government) sense of community. Most of which will require great sacrifice purely for the next generation of children.
