Special Holiday Meals: George Washington’s Birthday Menu 

Published on by Susie @ Pollywog's Place BlogLeave a comment

President’s Day is the day set aside to honor George Washington’s birthday. His birthday is February 22nd, but it was voted to move the official holiday to the 3rd Monday in February to create a 3-day weekend. It is better known as President’s Day thanks to retailer sales.

This is a good day to talk about George Washington and our past presidents.
