Have a nice Presidents' Day !
Presidents' Day is a Unites States federal holiday celebrated on the third Monday of February. Although only George Washington and Abraham Lincoln (actually this year on Feb 12 was his bicentennial anniversary) were born in February, Presidents' Day is a day to honor all the presidents. It started in 1880 as Washington's Birthday - a homage to the first president and was changed to Presidents' Day in 1980. Being a federal holiday, schools and government institutions are closed. The private ones depends, every company has its own policy, for example Stock Market is closed, but the stores are open and have big sales! Corina has the day off, but not Kevin!
