As there are other holidays that celebrate presedential figures as individuals, Presidents Day has become famously known to celebrate all presidents both past and present. 
2. Presidents Day was originally celebrated on February 22nd which is President George Washington's actual date of birth; However it was not until the day was moved as a part in the 1971's Uniform Monday Holiday Act in an attempt to create more three-day weekends for the nation's workers that it became popularly known. This year this famous holiday is celebrated on Monday the 19th of february.

Other traditions people today do on presidents day include: Districts having a no school day, stores starting their sale season, most delivering services not being in perfect operstion, and/or not all public transit systems operating on their redular/daily schedules.
