Presidents Day, as I recall, was originally intended to be a combination of Lincoln's Birthday and Washington's Birthday, which both occur in February. Washington's BD had been an official federal holiday since the 1700's, but Lincoln's hadn't been. Nowadays, it is a holiday accepted to officially honor all past Presidents.
