Maybe a firewreck..or wreckfire...."I lingered round them, under that benign sky: watched the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells, listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass, and wondered how any one could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth."Comment

i wanted to know how getting a day off from work ties in with honoring two great presidents? I understand why we choose to honor them, but exactly how does creating a national holiday contribute to honoring them? If there wasn't a holiday would we think less of them? Do people sit at home on president's day discussing how great our presidents were? and most importantly, why do you people still engage me on this topic?????Originally posted by GwynnInTheHall View Post

I think then, your issue is not with the specific holiday of President's day, but rather the concept of Holidays in general. I'm pretty sure that when holidays were conceived, they were a method of indeed taking that time to honor the occasion with family and friends and not just a day off of work or another marketing opportunity.Originally posted by Mithrandir View Posti wanted to know how getting a day off from work ties in with honoring two great presidents?

Don't confuse original intent with the bastardization most holidays have become.
relax and enjoy thew fact that the two men we're honoring with this holiday are carved into Mt.

I don't even like football anymore, but the day after the Super Bowl should be a national holiday."You know what's wrong with America?

Seriously, especially since my company's monthly safety meetings fall on the first Monday of the month which corresponds with (you guessed it) the day after the Super Bowl!Originally posted by Fresno Bob View Post
For the record, my stingy company doesn't give us President's Day, MLK's B-day, or Veteran's Day off. Luckily, for this year's President's Day I was in Germany celebrating their love of beer.Comment
