Seems like Presidents Day is a big deal for government employees who get the day off and raging alcoholics who’ll use any excuse to get hammered on a Monday. Presidents Day goes all the way back to the 1880s when the Federal Government added it to the calendar to honor the birth of George Washington. In the 1980s, we added Abraham Lincoln to the mix.
And how do we honor these great men? With the time-honored tradition of deeply discounting grossly overpriced furniture. Seriously, what is it with furniture stores and Presidents Day?
