What began as a celebration of two Presidents, Abraham Lincoln and George Washington, with holidays separately to recognize both, was changed in the early 1970's to celebrate the achievements of all the President's of the United States of America.
My humans were surprised to learn this as they'd always celebrated it as Washington's and Lincoln's birthdays- especially since Lincoln was one of Dad's favorite Presidents.
Enjoy your day off- if you are not off today- enjoy the easier commute to work.
Am curious, who is your favorite U.S. President and why?
