5 Romantic Presidents’ Day Activities that say “I’m sorry I forgot to make plans for Valentines Day”
A studio apartment divided against itself cannot stand.” — Abraham Lincoln
1. Bake a Cherry Pie!
Honor our nation’s first president and honor your own first lady or man by baking this romantically red confection. After chopping his father’s cherry tree, a young George Washington said “I can not tell a lie.” If only your partner could’ve not told a lie when they said they “weren’t big on hallmark holidays”
2. Plan a Movie Night!
Other than that, how was the play Mrs. Lincoln? Certainly your partner has more to worry about than the delay of your romance by just a single night?
The gas station DVD bin has all sorts of titles that’ll make you say “I could buy a month of Netflix for this price.” Skip Mel Gibson’s THE PATRIOT and hurry home and pop some popcorn while you scroll through Rom-Coms for 40 minutes, and begrudgingly decide on LOVE ACTUALLY only to realize that it’s actually a Christmas Movie.
3. Recite French Poetry!
Je t’aime chaque jour davantage. Forget yesterday, love more today! and nothing says you promise to be a better lover quite like your embrace of the ultimate romance language, French!
Thomas Jefferson famously enjoyed French culture, and your partner will too. Impress them with this historical knowledge you learned after a single viewing of Hamilton, and then panic because Victor Hugo is the only French poet you know and Les Mis is two and a half hours long.
4. Take a Romantic Bath!
Light a candle and drop in a bath-bomb; that’ll really make you feel like a president! The warm water and light music will lull you two to sleep as you let your bodies intertwine in this tub clearly made for one. William Howard Taft won’t be the only one who needs help getting unstuck!
5. Break up!
Let’s be honest, Abe! This relationship has been a civil war from the start. Maybe it’s best we call off the wedding in order to form 2 more perfect unions … by seeing other people.
If I haven’t met anyone by Labor Day I’ll call you.
