Washington's Birthday, also known as Presidents' Day, is a
federal holiday held on the third Monday of February. The day honors presidents
of the United States, including George Washington, the USA's first president.
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. Celebrated
on the third Monday of February. Ways to celebrate Presidents Day is by
visiting the presidential Monuments, remembering history with historic
educational videos, laying out an American flag outside on your porch, or even
considering a moment of silence for the iconic leaders.
.
Although
many work companies and school districts consider the Presidents Day to be a
day off of work it is not officially considered a Holiday. It is still
considered to be a typical workday. It is originally supposed to be a day that
is only for George Washington but George Washington, William Henry Harrison,
Abraham Lincoln and Ronald Reagan all have their birthdays in February all
nearly the same days. So they decided to make it a day for all the Presidents.
