The third Monday of every February is celebrated as Presidents’ Day in the United States. It’s the day to remember and honor the contributions of all the presidents who have made America the country that it is today.
Most kids and even adults, see it as a day off from work and school, but only a few are aware of the main point behind the holiday. Presidents’ Day came into force in 1971 to create more three-day weekends for the civilians, in an effort to inspire productivity. It began with the idea that by mid-February, the effects of winter holidays begin to fade, hence people need a short break to recuperate.
