Presidents Day

Today is Presidents Day and it has more meaning to it than you might think.  Presidents Day is a Federal and State holiday and it has lots of names depending on where you live in the U.S.A.  Most of the states have called it Presidents Day since the 1980s when advertisers pushed to have one name for the holiday.  It was called Washington's Birthday and in some states it is.  In other states it was called Lincoln's Birthday.  Some states celebrated just Lincoln's birthday and some celebrated just Washington's birthday while other states celebrated both.  So, through the years it has been adapted by the Federal government and most States as Presidents Day and is celebrated every third Monday in February. Most feel that Presidents Day is in honor of George Washington the first President of the United States and some feel it is in honor of both Washington and Abraham Lincoln, the sixteenth President of the United States.  Still others feel it celebrates all the Presidents of the United States and they are all correct.  Now that I have cleared all that up;  Happy Presidents Day!
