Presidents day is a day where america celebrates George washington’s birth day which is on February, 22. But the holiday is celebrated on February, 20 it was changed to give more 3 day weekends to the nation's workers. It is still officially called “Washington's birthday” by the federal government. But the day is still celebrated to honor all presidents past and present. The day was started by president george but it never actually falls on any president's birthday. The names were changed from “washington's birthday” to presidents day in the late 70s. That is what i got for presidents day i think the holiday is very cool because we get a day off.
THANKSGIVING Thanksgiving is a day where you are with you family and friends and eat together. It was first celebrated because the pilgrims had their first successful harvest. It was celebrated with three days of hunting, eating, and other entertainment. The first thanksgiving was in 1621 the indians killed 5 deer as a gift for the pilgrims. In 1789 president George washington announced the first national thanksgiving. But it did not become a national holiday until the 19th century. In the 19 century an american writer named Sara josepha hale had a campaign to make it national. She also made a lot of the recipes that we eat today.
