How to Celebrate Groundhog Day, 2026?🥳🦡🦔⛄

Every February 2nd

"Groundhog Day traces back to an ancient European celebration called Candlemas.
This day, held midway between winter and spring, celebrated the changing seasons. 

Early German settlers brought the tradition to the United States, swapping a hedgehog for the local groundhog to predict the weather.
It’s said that if the animal saw its shadow, six more weeks of winter would follow.
The switch to groundhogs wasn’t random, groundhogs’ hibernation patterns align with the timing of the event, making them “nature’s forecasters.”"

It's already Groundhog Day (well, we don't have Groundhog Day over here because it's now summertime, but it is February 2nd) in Australia and by the time the groundhog comes out/or not, in Pennsylvania, it will be 9:30 pm in Brisbane where I am.

Just get me to February 3rd without having to repeat this day, as I had a tough hot day at work today and am praying for the cooler days of autumn.

Every February 3rd

I should have pulled a Sickie today, which will be my plan if I wake up in February 2nd, 2026 again:-)

First Monday in February
