Washington's Birthday

Poor George, his birthday really falls on Feb 22 but with the Uniform Monday Holiday act, and the realignment of the holiday to the 3rd Monday in February it never falls on the right day.

Have no fear, we live in MA where

• In Massachusetts, the state officially celebrates "Washington's Birthday" on the same day as the Federal holiday. State law also directs the governor to issue an annual "Presidents Day" proclamation on May 29 (John F. Kennedy's birthday), honoring the presidents with Massachusetts roots: Kennedy, John Adams, John Quincy Adams, and Calvin Coolidge.^[7]"
