Hopefully you can sleep in and enjoy a paid holiday today…. LIKE A BOSS (or a President). Mr. 44th himself will reportedly be enjoying his honorary R&R in Florida’s Atlantic Coast with friends. I know what you’re thinking; and I’ve already checked: Florida has NOT yet legalized marijuana. So, he probably just has some really good, be they publicly unnamed, friends there.
Now known to the retail community as “The Best Day to Convince You to Buy Something You Didn’t Know You Needed”, the federal holiday was initially called “Washington’s Birthday”. It was established by an act of Congress in 1879, celebrated on February 22nd, and was the first federal holiday to celebrate an American citizen. Now moved to the 3rd Monday in February, the current version celebrates all presidents past and present; because, of course, CIA briefings for life, top paying book/speaking deals, and having one’s name memorized by 4th graders for generations just weren’t enough.
So, since you are Head of Household/Commander in Chef and won’t get nearly as much credit for reforming your budget and passing orders, how are you going to enjoy your time this President’s Day? Share your thoughts with us in the comment box or on Facebook.
