Image result for george washington Presidents Day

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.

But being very intelligent but having little character is someone who is always doing work and doing good but never says anything nice. I think that being nice alone can’t get you very far but i also think th...
