Here's what to know about Presidents Day and how it came to be:
Bearing the likenesses of four United States chief executives, Mount Rushmore is pictured in 2019 in Keystone, South Dakota. Presidents Day, which is Monday, serves as a day off for federal workers and typically signals the start of many retails sales and deals.
When is Presidents Day 2024?

This year, Presidents Day is on Monday, Feb. 19.

The holiday is celebrated on the third Monday of every February because of a bill signed into law in 1968 by President Lyndon B. Johnson. Taking effect three years later, the Uniform Holiday Bill mandated that three holidays – Memorial Day, Presidents Day and Veterans Day – occur on Mondays to prevent midweek shutdowns and add long weekends to the federal calendar, according to Britannica...

How is the holiday celebrated?

Because Presidents Day is a federal holiday, most federal workers will have the day off.

NOTE THE FOLLOWING PER THE GOVERNMENT OPM WEBSITE: This holiday is designated as "Washington’s Birthday" in section 6103(a) of title 5 of the United States Code, which is the law that specifies holidays for Federal employees.

So...it's both. Or neither. Or...whatever.

Bottom line: no mail delivery today.
