      I wish I could have found a clearer picture of it.

        We don't get it off here any more. Makes the month of February very long.

          I don't get today off so it doesn't really mean anything to me. My first holiday in the year is Memorial Day in May.

          But I do like the pic though. I had never seen that before.

            In the painting above, I think it's kind of funny Taft chose to hang out with Jimmy and Clinton rather then his own era Presidents

              Maybe he would have taken up too much room in the painting if they didn't place him off to the side.

                  We have Washington/Lincoln's Birthday and President's Day.

                  That's the only 2 holidays we have directly celebrating our Presidents.

                    Wait, I'm confused. Washington/Lincoln Birthdays and President's Day are the same thing. There is only ONE such day or "holiday".....

                      You may be right.
                      They keep changing them around so much, i've lost track.

                        Linclon's Birthday - Feb 12 (Th)
                        President's Day - Feb 16 (Mon)
                        Washington's Birthday - Feb 22 (Sun)

                        President's Day is the only one "holiday" where the goverment, post office and schools are closed.

                            I grew up in Jersey and wiki says .....

                            In New Jersey, Connecticut and Illinois, while Washington's Birthday is a federal holiday, Abraham Lincoln's birthday is still a state holiday, falling on February 12 regardless of the day of the week.
                            I think that's what messed me up.
