do you think President's Day in the President's family is celebrated like a Father's [or Mother's [[a boy can dream]]] Day? ...does it require gift-giving?

if so, i'd hate to be a president's child... i mean, i'm great at giving presents and all... it's just that between father's/mother's day, the birthday, christmas, easter, name day, and 1/4 of channukah... i'd be stretched a bit thin in terms of both money and ingenuity.

hmmm. i just realised that i never once considered being the president who would receive the many gifts. does that mean i've internalised my negativity?

[[no, no. that can't be it.]]
