Or, Washington's and Lincoln's Birthday

I am more than old enough to remember when most of the USA celebrated two separate presidential birthdays - Abraham Lincoln's on February 12 and George Washington's on February 22. Nowadays, the third Monday of the month is a day to honor one or the other, both, and/or any other president.
Additionally, it seems that some of the traditional observances have fallen by the wayside. No longer do we hear much talk of splitting rails or honesty. Nor, are there as many sales on cherry pies. I might miss that the most.
