Whose holiday is this anyway?

Posted on Monday, February 15, 2010 in Punctuation

Is this Presidents Day, President’s Day or Presidents’ Day?

The federal holiday that occurs on the third Monday of February is actually called Washington’s Birthday but some states have combined his birthday with Lincoln’s.

If the holiday is to celebrate the birthdays of  multiple presidents it should be plural possesive: Presidents’ Day.
