When we were little my Mother and Grandmother made mountains of cut out sugar cookies for every holiday.
The axe came in handy for President’s Day and Thanksgiving.

Before President's Day became a thing Washington's Birthday was also a State holiday in WA. Of course the "unwashed urchins" of my vintage thought it uproariously funny to call it George Birthington's Washday.

Feb 16th was my mum's birthday. If she was still alive this one would be her 106th birthday. However, she left us back in 2005 when she was 85.

To commemorate the presidents, George W. Bush wrote an essay about George Washington. Here's a brief summary...
George W. Bush presented George Washington as a man whose personal integrity and moral precedents shaped the American presidency, emphasizing Washington's willingness to relinquish power, his focus on character over popularity, and his belief in the importance of religious liberty and public morality for self-governance. Bush argued that Washington's character is embedded in the office of the presidency, viewing it as a temporary trust.

President's Day is awesome. It is a day regular people can lie, cheat, steal, forget morality and decency, avoid and deny accountabilty, and generally behave in a despicable way like our leaders without guilt.
I love it
