Today Groundhog Day when the ground hog may or may not have seen his shadow. (By the way, why do we always refer to the Groundhog Day critter as “he?”) Punxsutawney Phil supposedly saw his shadow today and bounded back into his burrow for six more weeks of winter.
When I was a youngster, we enjoyed the stories surrounding Groundhog Day. We often drew pictures and talked of the groundhogs on our farm.
One family I know hold a celebration including a cake complete with groundhog poking up through the frosting. Young and older gather for a family meal, some dropping in for dessert and others there the entire evening.
Do you celebrate special occasions with family gatherings and create memories for youngsters? These may be special days mentioned on the calendar or simply events particular to your family.
