DESCRIPTION:

For those of us old enough to remember, we used to get two days off school in February: Lincoln's Birthday and Washington's birthday. Two other presidents were also born in February, Ronald Reagan, and William Henry Harrison.

President's Day was declared a federal holiday by Congress in 1880. In 1971, President Richard Nixon combined Washington's and Lincoln's birthdays into Presidents' Day, but schools continued to recognize the two separate days until the early 1980s.

Today we have just one federal holiday, the Monday closest to George Washington's Birthday on February 22. Washington was born under the Julian Calendar, which put the date 11 days earlier on February 11. In 1752 the nation switched to the Georgian Calendar, and his birthday became February 22, the day he celebrated for the rest of his life.

The United States has the fewest recognized paid federal holidays worldwide, with just six, New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas, nationally recognized by all employers, public sector and private. Juneteenth, President's Day, and Martin Luther King Day are still not recognized by all employers as paid holidays.
