In the beginning of September, Labor Day marks the end of the summer for many, so conversation about how great a summer it was might be appropriate. Because time flies when you’re having fun, the sweet summer months seem to go by very quickly. In the northern United States, and other places where the warm weather is very welcome, the end of this warm season can be a bit depressing.
The Jerry Lewis Telethon is a television program that is watched from one end of the country to the other to celebrate this Labor Day weekend, and there have been lots of telethons in the past to speak about. This year, 2011, will apparently be the last year that Jerry Lewis hosts the Telethon. When this subject is brought up at your Labor Day party, there is sure to be tears in certain eyes. This Telethon was around when most of the U.S. population was young. They can remember the first ones, where Jerry Lewis couldn’t finish singing “You’ll Never Walk Alone,” and the final stanzas showed only a microphone on his stool, as he had left the stage, shaken.
Labor Day means a lot of things to many different people, but they have probably all seen a Jerry Lewis Telethon or two, and have plenty to say about them. The best part is that with the coming season the celebrations begin. They start with Halloween, and then it is on to the holidays, with Thanksgiving to start off the Christmas season, as people wait for the end of the year, and the beginning of the new one.
