Is February 18, 2013 a Holiday?

I would like to know if February 18th 2013 is a holiday or not. Most of my friends told me it is but I'm not sure. I don't have good memory so I always forget when we have a day off. What type of holiday it is?? Do we have to work? What are we celebrating this February 18th 2013? Maybe I'm confused, but it appears on my calendar so it has to be something. Do you know if February 18th 2013 is a holiday?

February 18th 2013 is a Federal Holiday and you will have a day off from work, so don't worry. This day we celebrate "Washington's Birthday", and although in other states governments may use other names, this is the name designated by the law. This February 18th, 2013 you will have the opportunity to travel with your family or to spend some time with your friends. It's really nice to have this kind of holidays, and for sure you will have a great time resting.
Now you know that February 18th 2013 is a Federal Holiday so you can start making plans for this day.
