Kennedy and John John in the Oval Office, 1963 The Carters, 1977 First Lady Barbara Bush and a Future First Daughter, 1991 First Lady Hillary, Chelsea, and President Bill Clinton, 1997 President Bill Clinton With Chelsea and Buddy, 1998

3 Ways to Celebrate Presidents' Day With Your Politikids

Today is Presidents' Day and a prime opportunity to talk to your kids about our nation's history and why some schools, banks, and stores are closed to honor our forefathers. Most youngsters don't need detailed political rants or your take on what George Washington would have said about the credit crisis; here are some politically correct ideas for broaching the subject of former White House residents with your children.

  • Read a Political Book: The What Presidents Are Made of book ($13) is a good starter for young children interested in history. It focuses on 17 US presidents and includes antidotes that show the human side of our former presidents. For example, George Washington is "made of good deeds." Here are some other reading suggestions for teaching tots about the presidential process.
  • Make a Patriotic Treat: Celebrate democracy with your lil darlings by making red, white, and blue snacks like an American Flag Cake, Fruit Kabobs or Obama cupcakes.
  • Dress Up in Your Political Gear: If you purchased or were given political apparel for your child during 2008's campaign, bring it out of the closet today so your tots can show their colors.

Not long after he took oath into office, President Barack Obama brought back an important White House tradition: the cocktail party. While his predecessor famously didn't drink, Obama hosted a bipartisan happy hour in late January. However, he's not the first president to encourage friendly drinking and mingling, the cocktail party has long been a celebrated part of life in Washington. Since today is Presidents Day, I thought it would be fun to test your knowledge of presidential drinking stats. Do you know which presidents were considered drunks? Find out now when you take my quiz!
