Presidents Day 2026
It's another Presidents Day.
Though officially Washington's Birthday the feds have provisioned it as a holiday in the United States celebrated on the third Monday of February.
It is typically celebrated to honor all those who served as president of the United States.
Since 1879, has been the federal holiday honoring Founding Father George Washington.
Washington led the Continental Army to victory in the American Revolutionary War.
He then presided at the Constitutional Convention of 1787.
He served as the first US president from 1789 to 1797.
It has devolved into a day for sales and other such drivel associated with consumerism in the United States.
Happy President's Day anyway.
