Bad presidents don't deserve holidays. They deserve scorn.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The holidays are only holy if we make them so.
Let's assume for the moment that the logic behind Presidents Day is actually sound for certain presidents. Why not have a separate holiday for Lincoln and one for Washington - as we used to do, before we became so concerned with the 'Every President Gets a Trophy' ethos?
I've got two young children, so holidays are not the same as they used to be. There are now two types: family holidays and holidays you need from that holiday.
I also hate those holidays that fall on a Monday where you don't get mail, those fake holidays like Columbus Day. What did Christopher Columbus do, discover America? If he hadn't, somebody else would have and we'd still be here. Big deal.
I wouldn't say that holidays are manufactured by corporations, but they're certainly exploited and mined by them.
My feelings are those of a schoolboy getting in sight of the holidays. Or more seriously, my feelings are perhaps those of a matador who has decided not to enter the bull ring.
The holidays are a way to get away from the pain of the year, creating something people can laugh at. That's a gift.
All holidays can be good times.
Nothing says holidays, like a cheese log.
Presidents are nice people. They're nice, fun-loving people who have great jobs.
