The Stupidest Holiday of the Year
Happy Presidents’ Day
It is beyond dispute or question that the third Monday in February has become the silliest, most vacuous holiday of the year.
Yeah, it’s a day off work — at least for those whose employers respect federal (and state) holidays. So, it makes for a relaxing 3-day weekend or the opportunity for a quick weekend getaway. But…
The holiday itself?
Stupid.
Pointless.
Ridiculous.
Those who follow my writing know I harp on this every year at this time. And I’ll continue to do so until our nation — I’m writing as an American — wakes the heck up!
Presidents’ Day is a stupid holiday and should be retired from our vocabulary. Permanently.
But I like having a day off and “Presidents’ Day” rolls off the tongue.
Okay…okay….
If you like the sound of “Presidents’ Day,” then move it to January 20. That’s Inauguration Day — at least every four years. It’s when we inaugurate our President, so that seems like a logical day to call it “Presidents’ Day.” And we can say that when Presidents’ Day falls on Inauguration Day, it’s a holiday.
Okay? Happy?
