Groundhog Day

Groundhog Day is a holiday celebrated in United States and Canada on February 2nd each year.

In weather lore, if a groundhog, also known as a woodchuck, or marmot emerges from its burrow on this day and fails to see its shadow because the weather is cloudy, winter will soon end. If on the other hand, it is sunny and the groundhog sees its shadow, the groundhog will supposedly retreat into its burrow, and winter will continue for 6 more weeks.

Since the release of the movie Groundhog Day, starring Bill Murrey and Andie McDowell. the expression has come to mean a situation where the same events seem to happen over and over again.

The 'official' Groundhog Day celebration takes place in Punxsutawney, where the groundhog Punxsutawney Phil has been making predictions for over 120 years, apparently. The official website is www.groundhog.org.

Here are some great crafts, activities and colouring pictures for you to celebrate Groundhog day with.

Ultimately, after a long search, they are reunited and devise a plan so that they can be together, yet not disappoint the farmers who will interpret the appearance of the shadow to mean six more weeks of winter.
