Presidents Day is the day we celebrate Washington's birthday. 
The purpose of presidents day is to remember all those who served presidents of United States of America.That day is celebrated on every third Monday in February , originally it is celebrated February 22. You can celebrate it by doing something for Washington , you can visit the white house.The holiday was popularly known as Presidents Day after it was moved as part of 1971's Uniform Monday Holiday Act, an attempt to create more three-day weekends for the nations workers. While several states still have individual holidays honoring the birthdays of Washington, Abraham Lincoln and other figures, Presidents Day is now popularly viewed as a day to celebrate all U.S presidents past and present. The story of presidents day begins in the 1800, following Washington's death in 1799.
