Most people think the third Monday in February is Presidents Day, but that's not the official federal holiday.
Yes, Monday is a holiday in most states, but depending on where you live, you might not be celebrating Presidents Day.
Section 6103 of Title 5 of the United States Code, the law specifying holidays for federal employees, dictates that the day marks President George Washington's birthday. Interestingly enough, the date we've come to know as Washington's birthday wasn't always his birthday. People celebrated Washington's birthday when he was alive, but it officially became a holiday on January 31, 1879, long after his death. It was moved to the third Monday in February in 1968 when Congress passed the Uniform Monday Holiday Act.
