Officially, by Law, Washington's Birthday. But commonly ascribed to all Presidents. |

According to the federal gov't, it is actually designated as "Washington's Birthday."
http://www.opm.gov/policy-data-oversight/snow-dismissal-procedures/federal-holidays/#url=2014
| Quote: |
| This holiday is designated as "Washington’s Birthday" in section 6103(a) of title 5 of the United States Code, which is the law that specifies holidays for Federal employees. Though other institutions such as state and local governments and private businesses may use other names, it is our policy to always refer to holidays by the names designated in the law. |
Grammatically speaking, if one refers to it as Presidents' Day, the apostrophe should be placed after the s, to show plural possession. |

Pres. Nixon got this all mixed up and threw it all into one Federal holiday. Not possible that so many Founding Fathers were born in February, is it?
ETA: I'm with Bearkat on the plural possession.  |

I thought it was because businesses found "Presidents Day Sale" to be more elegant than "Washington's Birthday Sale."  |
