Monday February 17, 2025, is President’s Day and many, but not all, Americans will experience a three-day weekend. It is a Federal Holiday, providing federal/government workers the opportunity to use that extra day to round up boxes they will need for cleaning out the offices they have not visited since 2019. It is also a good day to buy a mattress, soundproof wireless headphones, furniture, clothing, or a new shower head. However, it is not a day to save on SwampButt Underwear. And there are plenty of good reasons. Not the least of which is the opinion that commercializing some holidays detracts from their value. Does SwampButt Underwear Have a President’s Day Sale? In a word no, but keep reading tom learn why.

Commercialism: As American As George Washington, Right?
The commercialization of holidays like President’s Day can be seen from different
Some argue that the parade of Presidents’ Day sales can detract from the significance of the day, turning it into just another consumer opportunity rather than a time to reflect on the contributions of figures like George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. Eschewing the merchandise sales on President’s Day helps emphasize the importance of honoring their legacies and the values they represented, such as leadership, unity, and progress. That is what the people at SwampButt Underwear will do.
Celebration on Sale!
Some argue that these sales can also be a way to celebrate the holiday, bringing attention to the contributions of Washington and Lincoln while also allowing more people to participate in the observance, even if it is through shopping. In this way, the sales could be seen as a form of cultural engagement that keeps their legacies alive in contemporary society.
The people at SwampButt Underwear are not mad at anyone about their President’s Day sales. They simply disagree. “It seems unlikely that anyone is considering the heroics of George Washington and his troops, (who defeated the greatest army and navy in the world while they starved, froze and died from pneumonia and exposure as much as from wounds delivered by the enemy) while picking out a mattress,” said SwampButt Underwear spokesman and man often outraged for no good reason Nick Heraldson. “No one is against a nice three-day weekend. But I doubt those brave men (yes, they were all men) gave up all they had so that 249 years later we could find that perfect sheet-mattress-headphone combination.”
Make Lincoln and Washington’s Birthdays Two Separate Holidays
Along with Washington, Abraham Lincoln put right what was wrong with this country. It was at great expense to the nation and to President Lincoln as he faced terrible personal loss during this time. Lincoln was known to suffer from ‘melancholy’ which we now describe as clinical depression. It was exacerbated by the war, and the death of his son ‘Willie.’ His wife Mary also suffered from mental illness. On top of all that, the president lost his life to an assassin, but not before he preserved the union. “Americans owe President Lincoln a lot,” Heraldson commented. “That new shower head will wait until Saturday.”
Two Holidays Are More Educational
George Washington and Abraham Lincoln played pivotal roles in shaping the nation, and allowing separate holidays would highlight their unique achievements and the distinct challenges they faced.
Two holidays could also encourage deeper discussions in schools, communities, and among families about American history and the values these leaders stood for. Moreover, it could prevent the dilution of the significance of either figure’s legacy, ensuring that each is appropriately honored in a dedicated setting. Ultimately, it comes down to how society chooses to remember and celebrate its historical figures, and many would agree that recognizing their individual contributions promotes a richer understanding of American history.
