A time for Furniture Sales, Car Sales, 1/2 off on all Clothing Items at shops right? And, a lot of people get vacation days and kids get off school, but does anyone really give a crap that it's President's Day?
I remember we actually studied it in school and remembered our President's during the week! Go figure. When did it turn in to just another 1/2 off sales day? Everything is about commercializm at this point isn't it?
Heaven forbid we would actually take a moment and reflect upon the real reason we have this holiday and respect our Presidents. I love history and I have read many books on Lincoln and Washington. I have decided just recently that my challenge for 2008 is to read one book on each President of the US. Yep, not because it's President's Day, but because I do have an interest in the Presidential History and thought I might just give it a shot. I have already read many stories on Washington, but to begin my journey into my challenge fairly I will start with a true book on Washington this week.
I'll keep you posted on my challenge!
