Federal Workers get the day off for Washington’s Birthday. Each state has its own ideas for recognizing the holiday. Nine states don’t care enough to recognize it at all. 
Do you know for sure what holiday the third Monday in Feb is in your state? Do you celebrate on a different day? Here’s a handy list by state.
What a mess. Gotta love America and its indecisiveness.
Interesting – we’re at work in any case, but I would have said Presidents Day. Nope – Washington.
Here in Canada, it’s Family Day!
Except in BC, when Family Day was last week (or is it next week). They do like to be different. 
It’s President’s Day here in California.
Around here it started while under direct US rule as Washington’s Birthday. Though more recently it was called Presidents’ Day it did not get amended to change the statute.
Then since out of one of those serendipituous coincidences, the first three founding governors of the Commonwealth had consecutive birthdays on 17-18-19 February, it became also their local holiday as each died and eventually it was legally consolidated as Governors’ Day, concurrent with the Federal holiday.
Last year, four local holidays recalling the birthdays of Puerto Rican historic notables were struck from the paid-days-off calendar because why have the Treasury pay public employees to stay home four days for any of which half of those workers could not identify whatever did the Dead Dude of the Day actually D. So everybody’s local birth-holiday was smooshed into “Día de los Próceres” (“Day of the Great Men”*) to happen concurrent with the Federal holiday. (There was precedent: the founder of our labor movement has his birth-holiday set to coincide with Labor Day)
(*Wouldn’t you know, on top of the 3 governors and 4 previously holidayed gents, they added two or three new names to the list of who the day commemorates… and not one woman in the lot. Figures, huh?)
Here in the state of Yucatan it is Carnaval. It is not Rio, but a lot of fun!
I don’t care what any state calks it. It’s Washington’s Birthday. Poor Abe - when I taught school we got both birthdays off on the real day. Once we moved one of our days off to January, we gave up one of our February days, and took this mid-February day instead.
I guess I knew it was President’s day deep down but I never thought about it. Unless someone needed to by a mattress, yesterday was probably just the day before Paczki day to most people round here.
Dammit. Yesterday I trudged through the snow at work, then later at home, to get the mail. None either place.
Last week for BC.
Also in PEI it was Islander Day and Manitoba it’s Louis Riel Day.
Poor Newfoundland, Quebec and all the territories get nothin. It’s not Federal either so any federal companies or government offices even in provinces were it is a holiday don’t necessarily get the day off.
But that meant that I got mail even though it was a holiday.
Apparently Merrylande observes President’s Day. I thought for sure that was the Federal holiday - I was a fed employee for 37 years and that’s what I called it.
No matter any more, tho. I’m retired. Every day’s a holiday!!! 
Not really. I remember back in the late 70s there was a move officially passed to change “Presidents Day” to “Great Americans Day”. I remember it because I was in college and we used it as an excuse for a really drunken party where everyone dressed as their favorite “great American”. Like George Washington (British) or Werner von Braun (German). But since then I’ve lost track and any reason to care.
It is Carnaval here. It is a national holiday so we watched the parades go by just after lunch and from the sounds I hear, the big one with the dancers and floats is a few blocks away. Time to refill the pitchers and head up to the balcony.
Deixe os bons tempos !!!
In Alabama it’s Washington and Jefferson Day, presumably because they just can’t bring themselves to celebrate Lincoln’s birthday.
Presidents’ Day, I think.
Unofficially it was “It’s still snowing, so I’m going to drink some more.”
It was Vice President’s Day for me owing to my having spent several hours in a tense meeting with 6 of them (from the company I work for).
Glad that’s over 
Not in BC! Last Monday was Family Day in BC and a stat holiday.
