President's Day is definitely not right though it is unclear about the other 
options.  The official Fed holiday is still Washington's B'day.
Iowa doesn't even recognize the day.  As there is no official designation one 
can turn to the grammarians though they don't agree according to the
definitive site "Mental Floss."    AP Stylebook prefers "Presidents Day," Chicago Style 
states "Presidents Day" is correct.

A reading of the two high priests on the issue ............ Strunk and White ........seems to indicate that "The day of presidents" might be an even better answer !

Off today, whatever its called, Mike
