February Is The Holiday Month

I can’t recall any other month that has so many commonly recognized and celebrated holidays and observances as February – and it’s the shortest month of the year on top of that.

February 2 – Groundhog Day (wasn’t the movie funny?).

February 12 – Abraham Lincoln’s birthday (celebrated as a State holiday in many northern areas).

February 14 – Valentine’s Day (don’t you just love this day?).

February 16 – President’s Day (now the 3rd Monday in February and replaces the Lincoln’s birthday/Washington’s birthday controversy about which one to celebrate and now includes all 44 Presidents).

February 22 – George Washington’s birthday (by the modern calendar – he actually was born on February 11, 1731 but changed to February 22, 1732 in 1752).

February is "Black History Month."

How can one little month have so much?
