Up till this year it was a holiday in my company for NY state. Not anymore, though.

There is a complicated reason why it used to be a holiday and isn't anymore. Has to do with making sure people who work in different states get the same number of holidays. Except those who live in Washington, DC area. They get one extra holiday every four years. Guess which day? :)
