Groundhog Day


Groundhog Day…what is its significance? On February 1st or 2nd, this holiday is celebrated all over the United States. When Punxsutawney Phil, the world’s most famous groundhog, comes out of his burrow, he looks at the ground. If he sees his shadow, he goes for another six week long nap while we settle in and wait for spring. Phil is spoiled rotten with a heated burrow and is fed dog food and ice cream before his big day. The groundhog, also called a woodchuck, is responsible for one of our favorite tongue-twisters…
How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood? A wood chuck would chuck all the wood he could chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood!
