MONDAY.....FEBRUARY 20, 2012 IS PRESIDENTS DAY
I REMEMBER AS A KID IN SCHOOL GEORGE WASHINGTON AND ABRAHAM LINCOLN WERE ALWAYS THE TWO PRESIDENTS THAT WERE MENTIONED...BACK THEN WE WERE OFF TWO DAYS....THE 12TH AND THE 22ND.........NOW THEY CALL IT PRESIDENTS DAY AND THE KIDS ARE OFF ONE DAY........
GEORGE WASHINGTON AND HIS WIFE MARTHA
OATH OF OFFICE............................1789
GOD BLESS AMERICA
Perfect Rizzi. Our kids are not even off tomorrow, they are off Friday instead. Crazy isn't it?

I honestly have zero recollection of anything being done for President's Day when I was growing up. Of course, for us here, it was just another day -- but we have a 4-day weekend coming up for Kuwait's National/Liberation Days. Woohoo! Best wishes to you, Tammy
ReplyDeleteI think the original intention of the day was to link together the two February birthdays of Lincoln and Washington into one day. So, in my mind, it's still about them.

ReplyDeleteI should have been a banker to get off all those holidays, working retail were only closed three days a year!
