Monday, February 17, 2020 is Presidents' Day. Or President’s Day. Or even Presidents Day.

Whichever way you choose to spell it, it's a federal holiday and a three day weekend for most government employees and some lucky students.

So do your children have to go to school? How about banks and post offices, will they be open or closed? What about the malls? Here's what is open and what is closed.

Sun Metro:

Banks and Postal Service:

Presidents’ Day is a U.S. Postal Holiday so the post office lobby will be closed and you won’t get any mail delivery either. And because the day is a federal holiday, it’s a bank holiday as well. It should be noted, however, that not all banks and credit unions observe Presidents' Day. Check with your bank to be sure.

Retail

Malls and retail stores will not be taking the day off because how else can we get HUGE savings on mattresses, sofas, and cars. Our founding fathers would have wanted it this way. 'Merica!
