Many Americans enjoy a day off on the third Monday of February every year. That’s because it’s Presidents’ Day, officially named Washington’s Birthday in honor of America’s first president, George Washington (his actual birthday is February 22).
The federal holiday has broadened to commemorate President Abraham Lincoln, who was born on February 12.
Presidents’ Day is also marked by discounts and sales at a variety of different retailers.
