Presidents’ Day is celebrated every third Monday of February. The day of national honor started in 1880. Originally Presidents’ day was the 22nd of February in honor of George Washington’s birthday but it eventually evolved into a day of honor toward all the presidents. Lincoln’s birthday is also in February making February an even more appropriate month to honor the nations presidents. In 1971, it officially became known as Presidents’ Day after it was implemented into the Uniform Monday Holiday Act which created more three day weekends for workers. Today, Presidents’ Day is an international day to celebrate and honor the nations presidents.
