<p align="center"><img src="http://www.station.sony.com/images/community/news/presidentsday_600.jpg" width="600" height="150" /></p> <p>On Monday we'll be observing Presidents Day, a federal holiday in the United States. Originally, Presidents Day was a holiday honoring George Washington's birthday and was observed on February 22nd. In more recent years the holiday was extended to honor both Washington and Abraham Lincoln, whose birthday is February 12th, and was moved to the third Monday of February.</p> <p>Please note that due to the holiday, SOE's Customer Service staffing will be limited on Monday, February 15th. We appreciate your patience and understanding for any delays you may experience.</p> <p>Enjoy our Presidential Hamster avatar and wallpaper!</p> <table cellpadding="5" align="center"><tbody><tr><td width="140"><div><img src="http://www.station.sony.com/images/community/news/presham/presidentalgeorgeham_av.jpg" width="102" height="130" /></div></td> <td width="192"><div><a href="http://www.station.sony.com/images/community/news/presham/georgeham_desktop_lg.jpg"><img src="http://www.station.sony.com/images/community/news/presham/georgeham_desktop_sm.jpg" border="0" width="175" height="130" /></a></div></td></tr> <tr><td><div><a href="http://www.station.sony.com/images/community/news/presham/presidentalgeorgeham_av.jpg" target="_blank">Small</a> | <a href="http://www.station.sony.com/images/community/news/presham/presidentalgeorgeham_sm.jpg" target="_blank">Medium</a> | <a href="http://www.station.sony.com/images/community/news/presham/presidentalgeorgeham_lg.jpg" target="_blank">Large</a></div></td> <td><div><a href="http://www.station.sony.com/images/community/news/presham/georgeham_desktop_sm.jpg" target="_blank">1024x768</a> | <a href="http://www.station.sony.com/images/community/news/presham/georgeham_desktop_lg.jpg" target="_blank">1680x1050</a></div></td></tr></tbody></table>

<p>Actually, the federal holiday is still Washington's Birthday; it was never extended or renamed or anything, simply moved (to a point where it can never be on February 22, oddly enough).</p><p>Some states have an official Presidents Day holiday that coincides but the federal holiday is still just for Washington.</p><p>Powers  &8^]</p>
