President's Day

What are we celebrating today?

President's Day?

Presidents' Day?

Presidents Day?

From Snopes:

Some of us think we're observing George Washington's Birthday (perpetually moved to more convenient Monday dates since 1971), some of us think we're celebrating the combined birthdays of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln (two formerly separate holidays smushed into one), and some of us think we're honoring the memory of all U.S. presidents past and present. Which is it?

Snopes explains here.
