It’s President’s Day! Let’s Celebrate!
Hi everyone! Hope everyone had a great Valentine’s Day yesterday! Hope everybody had a great President’s Day, today! I know that most people still had to work, but that’s no reason not to do a little something to celebrate. President’s Day has a pretty long and interesting history, but I’m not going to go into all of it. Rather, I’d just like to touch on some of the main facts. President’s Day started as a celebration of George Washington’s Birthday, which is actually February 22. Through a number of congressional bills and various states celebrating either Washington’s or Abraham Lincoln’s birthday (February 12), President’s Day was born. There were actually two other presidents born in February (William Henry Harrison, February 9, and Ronald Reagan, February 6) so President’s Day can be considered either a celebration of Washington’s and Lincoln’s birthdays or a celebration of all United States presidents. Either way, let’s celebrate our American history! What did you do to celebrate?
