Presidents Day is Coming Up!
In observance of this holiday, our office will be closed on Monday, February 20th, 2012. We will reopen on the following day, Tuesday, February 21st, 2012.
Every year on the 3rd Monday of February we celebrate our first presidents birthday, George Washington. This is the first federal holiday to honor an American citizen, the holiday was celebrated on Washington’s actual birthday, February 22. But on January 1, 1971, the federal holiday was shifted to the third Monday in February by the Uniform Monday Holiday Act. This date places it between February 15 and 21, which makes the name “Washington’s Birthday” in some sense a misnomer, since it never lands on Washington’s actual birthday, February 22.
The holiday is also a tribute to the general who created the first military badge of merit for the common soldier. Revived on Washington’s 200th birthday in 1932, the Purple Heart medal (which bears Washington’s image) is awarded to soldiers who are injured in battle. As with Memorial Day and Veterans Day, Washington’s Birthday offers another opportunity to honor the country’s veterans.
We have glasses by Lilly Pulitzer!
From Lilly Pulitzer website:
We find inspiration everywhere. From traveling to Palm Beach, visiting museums, strolling through gardens and hopefully spending days on the beach… the print team is constantly exploring and painting. It is unheard of to have a team of artists on-hand… and that is exactly why we do it! We love our prints and treat them like royalty.
