Presidents Day 101

Presidents Day is actually called Washington’s Birthday in honor of our first president George Washington (his birthday is actually February 22).  Abraham Lincoln’s birthday is February 12 and actually has no role in Presidents Day. Well, it actually depends on who you ask and which state you live in.

Today, the February holiday has become well known for being a day in which many stores hold salesABC News reports: While Presidents Day’s 2012 sales may feature deeper discounts than those of winter holiday promotions, they may not be as money-saving as those of last year’s Presidents Day, according to Dealnews.com.

Hope you find some time today to celebrate our first President’s birthday and steal a deal!
