It doesn’t matter what you call it. It’s designated by the federal government as an official holiday. That’s why the post offices and banks are closed. Every state I’ve lived in recognizes it as holiday. It’s odd that Florida doesn’t respect honoring Washington, Lincoln, etc on this day. Although, I know some workers in The Villages that work for companies that gave them the day off as a paid holiday, so there are great companies honoring our Presidents.
