I seem to remember they celebrated this in the novel A Tree Grows In Brooklyn

Just realized that I’ve never read that book. I should read it.

It’s one of my all time favorite books and of the few stories I’ve ever read where the movie adaptation really gets the “feeling” of the characters - my recommendation would be to read the book first but then watch the movie if you can.

I’ve always considered it an “autumn” book for some reason (and usually reread it in September) so if you’re interested now is a great time to check it out!

Maybe it's because I was guilted into reading it when I was like 13 but I thought it was tedious
