President’s Day

Private Home Health Care wishes everyone a Happy President’s Day today!

Held on the third Monday in February, this holiday honors the birthdays of George Washington (February 22) and Abraham Lincoln (February 12). We recognize these celebrated Presidents for making the United States the great nation that is it today.

A traditional way to honor this holiday is by eating cherry pie. This tasty pastry is reminiscent of George Washington’s cherry tree story, showing he could not tell a lie.

When President’s Day was passed by congress in 1971, they hoped that this would inspire greater productivity nationwide. It was believed that at this point in the year, the restorative effects of the Winter holidays have begun to fade and we need another break to regain some of that lost stamina. So go ahead and enjoy this day off!
