Hope I don't have to take back my new fridge now!
No lie: It's Washington's Birthday, not Presidents Day
Like George Washington, we cannot tell a lie, so we must share a brutal truth. This is not Presidents Day.
Nor is it a national holiday designed to honor Abraham Lincoln along with Washington.
On the federal calendar, at least, Monday is still Washingtons birthday.
In fact, the Uniform Monday Holiday Act of 1968 which moved the observance of Washingtons birthday from Feb. 22 to the third Monday in February does not name Lincoln at all. Nor does it mention Presidents Day, Presidents' Day or even President's Day
