President's Day

I am so excited about our get together, and to know we will see everyone again at Meg's Fabulous Wedding.

I looked up President's Day and this is what I found:

President's Day or Washington's Birthday has been publicly celebrated since before Washington was President.

Its traditions included Birthnight Balls in various regions, speeches and receptions given by prominent public figures, and a lot of revelry in taverns throughout the land.

There seemed to be a few websites devoted to President's Day, including this one that claims to reflect on the holiday from a Christian perspective.

You can take the President's Day quiz. I scored 9 out of 10!

Apparently, there was a President's Day Blizzard in the DC Area in 2003--I was somewhere up North...but, now I can learn all about it, just the same. Here, too!

And, just in case anyone has the itch for coloring.

Or, maybe we should have our little get together be a President's Day Party, will the restaurant decorate?

Ok, that is it for today.

PS. Family Day in Alberta is also celebrated on the third Monday in February.
