Presidents Day 2022: Who does it honor (Washington? Lincoln?).

This Monday, take a few moments to think about George Washington and Abraham Lincoln.

We used to observe individual dates devoted to both of those famous presidents who remain among the most exalted to hold the office. And leading up to their birthdays, students in schools often spent time learning about their accomplishments.

Now, we have Presidents Day, better known as a national day of bargains on cars, mattresses, appliances, televisions and more.

"It's become more of a shopping day and a break in the calendar. Are we supposed to be honoring all the presidents that day? If so, how are we doing that?" said Douglas Brinkley, a presidential historian and professor at Rice University in Houston. "If it was Presidents Day in all the schools in the country and (teachers and students) were really looking at the executive branch, there might be something useful, but as it is now, it's more about a worker holiday than it is a day of intellectual reflection."

Even our calendars are confused. Microsoft Outlook lists Lincoln's Birthday (Feb. 12), but not Washington's Birthday (Feb. 22) or Presidents Day (Feb. 21). Google Calendar lists just Presidents Day.
