2025年總統日：喬治·華盛頓生日的慶祝與商業活動
喬治·華盛頓的生日，通常被稱為總統日，將於2025年2月17日作為聯邦假日慶祝。這一天旨在紀念美國第一位總統，並已演變為歷史崇敬與零售銷售的混合體。大多數政府辦公室、學校、銀行和美國股市將關閉，而許多企業則保持開放，提供床墊、家電和電子產品等商品的大幅折扣。
美國郵政服務將暫停常規郵件遞送，但優先郵件快遞仍將運作。FedEx和UPS等主要運輸公司將保持開放，但會對服務進行一些調整。雜貨店和快餐連鎖店預計將保持開放，這將使外賣服務變得非常繁忙。
最初，華盛頓的生日是在2月22日慶祝的，但在1971年根據《統一星期一假日法》被移至2月的第三個星期一。這一變更旨在為工人提供更多的三天週末，但也引發了關於假日目的的爭論。雖然聯邦政府仍然正式將其稱為華盛頓的生日，但許多州和廣告商已採用更廣泛的「總統日」標籤，通常將亞伯拉罕·林肯的生日也納入慶祝活動中。
這個假日的現代版本反映了歷史紀念與商業活動的結合，銷售和促銷活動主導了公眾對這一天的體驗。
