Presidents Day 2022: Furniture Buying Guide
Tucked between New Year’s Day and spring break, Presidents Day is a national holiday that has grown bigger the past few decades. In a way, it’s become the Black Friday of the winter - especially for those looking for furniture deals.
Once, the day was known as a kind of smaller Independence Day celebration that honored the life of George Washington and other presidents. That celebration still happens, including honoring other presidents and the current president.
However, the holiday has now grown into a great weekend for shoppers, with fantastic deals and lowered prices.
That’s because for the past few decades, retailers realized that the long Presidents Day weekend offered a great chance to give people exceptional deals. Some even extend the deals farther into February. It’s an exciting time to shop for those who want the best deals possible, especially those looking to make an important, major purchase such as furniture.
Furniture is a special investment in your home and lifestyle. Shopping the deals is a great way to find the furniture that feels like “you” without the buyer’s remorse that sometimes comes along with a major purchase. Lifestyle Furniture Homestore offers several discounts and even up to 50% off for some products. Make sure to have a look at our store at 21E. Shaw Ave, Fresno or browse our website. Never miss the chance!
President’s Day
Presidents' Day is a federal holiday celebrated on the third Monday in February; Presidents' Day 2022 will occur on Monday, February 21. Originally established in 1885 in recognition of President George Washington, the holiday became popularly known as Presidents' Day after it was moved as part of 1971’s Uniform Monday Holiday Act, an attempt to create more three-day weekends for the nation’s workers. While several states still have individual holidays honoring the birthdays of Washington, Abraham Lincoln and other figures, Presidents' Day is now popularly viewed as a day to celebrate all U.S. presidents, past and present.
Presidents' Day Celebrations and Traditions
Like Independence Day, Presidents' Day is traditionally viewed as a time of patriotic celebration and remembrance. In its original incarnation as Washington’s Birthday, the holiday gained special meaning during the difficulties of the Great Depression, when portraits of George Washington often graced the front pages of newspapers and magazines every February 22.
In 1932, the date was used to reinstate the Purple Heart, a military decoration originally created by George Washington to honor soldiers killed or wounded while serving in the armed forces. Patriotic groups and the Boy Scouts of America also held celebrations on the day, and in 1938 some 5,000 people attended mass at Saint Patrick’s Cathedral in New York City in honor of Washington.
In its modern form, Presidents' Day is used by many patriotic and historical groups as a date for staging celebrations, reenactments and other events. A number of states also require that their public schools spend the days leading up to Presidents' Day teaching students about the accomplishments of the presidents.
Retailers also saw Presidents Day as a terrific opportunity for those who wanted to go out and find a deal. Furniture stores have, in particular, become a great place for people to shop on Presidents Day. Expect the best furniture stores to have sales on Presidents Day and well into February, giving you a chance to shop at length for exactly what you want to buy.
While we can’t quite explain the connection between George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and hot furniture deals, we’re not complaining about it, either! President’s Day has become one of the best times of the year to make a big purchase for your home, whether it’s furniture, a mattress, or even a large appliance.
