Presidents’ Day

Today is a holiday in the United States. (So those of you with snow, just stay warm inside ~ no need to get the mail. 😉 )

Officially, the holiday is called Washington’s Birthday, to honor the first American president, George Washington. It is a federal holiday, meaning that federal employees get the day off and federal offices are closed, but it is observed differently across the US.

February 22 is Washington’s actual day of birth, but the holiday became popularly known as Presidents’ Day after it was moved as part of 1971’s Uniform Monday Holiday Act, an attempt to create more three-day weekends for the nation’s workers. Presidents’ Day is now popularly viewed as a day to celebrate all U.S. presidents past and present.

If you were going to adopt a Webkinz to name after a President, which President and pet would you choose?

    Just got in the car to go to hubby’s doctor’s appt. and the left back tire is COMPLETELY FLAT.
    I called the doctor to explain, but they will probably still charge us for a missed appt.
    What a day!
    Oh, it is snowing and very cold.

    Hello my friends, today is a holiday here in Canada also, it is Family Day, They have a Winter Festival & free skating today in Our market square, but it is way too cold to go 🙁 but on Feb.28th there will be a Chili Cook Off ! I hope it will be a bit warmer then!

    I Love the All birds, but the little Eaglet is soooooooo adorable 😀

    Oh my kinzgram sorry about you flat tire, what a pain in this weather.

    Hello Moms thanks for the eaglet pic, it makes me smile 😀

    Hello Gramma, hope you are having a nice morning 🙂

    If you were going to adopt a Webkinz to name after a President Hmmmm I would pick George Washington! His B-day is the same as mine! 😆

    Morning ladies! moms, thanks so much for the yeti plushy, super bed box, and KC coin! You didn’t mention what you wanted in trade, so I sent you a potted icicle tree, an icicle wind chime, and a sweet zum bookshelf. Thanks again! 🙂

    moms, the floats are still happening today. If anyone wants me to log into their accts please let me know (see previous post). Otherwise I will share as much as I can. I have 4 full accts(the rest are free) so I will collect the 16 from each daily and share here! There are 8 different prizes so it will be hard to share the full 8 with everyone… hope the promo lasts a while.
    Off to log in now. I will be home all today, so I will check my email often(again check yesterday’s post).
