February 22, Washington's Birthday, used to be a school holiday when I was young (Lincoln's, 12 Feb, too). That was back in the 1940s and 50s. Don't know what they do now that it's been merged into "Presidents' Day".

I always refer to him as President Washington, just in case a young person is listening and becomes curious. Happy Birthday Mr. President.

Yup,

Presidents day is for when you buy a mattress.
