- Meaning: President's Day is an opportunity to commemorate all US presidents, both past and present. It is also a time to reflect on the legacies and influence of these leaders in shaping the nation.
- Celebration: President's Day is a holiday for many Americans, and schools, banks and government offices are usually closed. Parades and ceremonies are held in some cities, and special events may be held at places associated with presidents, such as Mount Vernon (George Washington's home) and presidential libraries.
- Cultural significance: On President's Day, many stores and companies in the US offer special sales and promotions. It is one of the most popular holidays for retail sales in the US.
- Controversy: Although Presidents' Day is meant to honor all presidents, some Americans celebrate the day as George Washington's birthday, and others as Abraham Lincoln's birthday (which fell on February 12). There are also differences in the naming of the holiday (e.g., "President's Day" vs. "George Washington Day") from state to state.
