Interesting Presidents Day Facts and Information: In 1971 Congress was kicking around the idea of remaking the “Washington’s Birthday” holiday, moving it to a Monday and reanimating the holiday “Presidents Day” and celebrating all United States Presidents or because Lincolns birthday was February 12 and Washington’s was February 22 some thought why not combine the celebrations into this reinvented Monday holiday “Presidents Day” making it a Lincoln / Washington’s birthdays celebration? They couldn’t come to a consensus of course so the holidays’ name was left “Washington’s Birthday” and the date was moved to whatever date is the third Monday in February. The states are left to celebrate however they please so out in California they have great president picture saving Presidents Day Weekend sales! You can buy cheap cars, furniture, washing machines or nearly anything for fewer presidential pictures! So Californians celebrate by taking out many pictures of presidents Washington and Lincoln and handing them over to retailers. My family down in Alabama doesn’t give a dam about President Lincoln, accord ing to Wikipedia Alabamians celebrate Presidents Washington, and Thomas Jefferson’s even though Thomas Jefferson was born in April go figure those Alabamans, "Washington and Jefferson Day". Could it be another President Jefferson those Southern folk are honoring? Anyway I think on the sly Alabamians probable celebrate that all too often discounted by too many (Yankees and Northerners mostly), disrespected or even totally forgotten (by the Yankees) president of the States Jefferson Davis. So you just have to remember where you are at and see how they celebrate this holiday there, wherever you are.
