I'll agree that President's Day is ignored by everyone except the auto
dealerships, but I'd argue that Memorial Day and Labor Day get celebrated
fairly widely. Granted Memorial Day has almost been reduced to the
beginning of the summer outdoor party season, rather a day than to remember
our military dead. Labor day is the sort of holiday that is celebrated just
by having the day off from work. (As many people do.)
