President's Day is here again. It's one of those official holidays that have always been around. It corresponds to the birthday of George Washington since 1879 as far as official federal holidays go. The third Monday in February. This year it falls on February 21st.

I think the primary focus is being off from work and sales and shopping.
The day usually features Washington and some other president. Most often it's Lincoln. Other times including Jefferson. Personally, I don't really envision the day as one of honor so much as contention as it comes in February and anything that comes in February simply doesn't mean anything to me anymore.
That goes for Valentines day too. Ruined by the self aggrandizement of a fairly worthless subset of the population who think we all need to toot their unskilled do nothing horn for them.
Happy Presidents Day anyway.
