And why is this a holiday? Would rather have the day after Super Bowl or March 18th off...who do I talk to about this?

It's a holiday because it's a Monday. Plain and simple. Also, don't forget, most people had to work yesterday. Just government, banks and post offices get the day off...no surprises there.
