When I went to school February. had two holidays, one for Washington’s Birthday and one for Lincoln’s. Evidently the powers that be decided that two was too many, so we would have only one. We wouldn’t call it Washington/Lincoln day, but call it Presidents’ Day.
Why? Are we honoring Nixon? Polk? Jackson? Trump? What absolute bullshit. Why would we have a day honoring all presidents? If we are doing that, why not Congress? Why not the Department of Agriculture? I personally am going out tomorrow and raking up chestnut burrs. I am putting in eight hours of work just to prove a point. This is nothing to celebrate.
Presidents’ Day is not an official holiday. It is still Washington’s Birthday holiday. It’s too long to explain it here. You can google it.
