Everyone has a favorite holiday.  Some people love Christmas, some people get super jazzed about Halloween, some people think 4th of July is the bee’s knees.

I LOVE GROUNDHOG DAY!  One of my goals in life is to be in Punxsutawney on Feb. 2!

Let’s discuss the wonders of the day, shall we?

First, Gobblers’s Knob. (I think that speaks for itself.)

Second, people get all dressed up.  Heck yeah!  A man in a TOP HAT and tux with tails is always a plus to any holiday.  In fact, I think Santa should look into a red top hat.  He would look hella fab!

Third, the man in the top hat reaches into a hole and pulls out a GROUNDHOG!  I love a little controversy with my holiday…so it always makes me happy that PETA hates Groundhog’s Day.  They get all up in arms and assy about disturbing the hibernation of the animal.  HOWEVER…they don’t seem to mind when my children wake my ass up at 6am.  Hypocrites. (Moms are animal too!)

And then of course there is the movie….

Groundhog Day – a tradition at my house every Feb. 2 !  LOVE IT!

Ned: Ned… Ryerson. “Needlenose Ned”? “Ned the Head”? C’mon, buddy. Case Western High. Ned Ryerson: I did the whistling belly-button trick at the high school talent show? Bing! Ned Ryerson: got the shingles real bad senior year, almost didn’t graduate? Bing, again. Ned Ryerson: I dated your sister Mary Pat a couple times until you told me not to anymore? Well?
Phil: Ned Ryerson?
Ned: Bing!
Phil: Bing.

Punxsutawney Phil is probably the most famous of the American prognosticators…but there are several other American and Canadian groundhogs known for making predictions.

Here are the results for 2010…

HAPPY GROUNDHOG DAY!  (May all you knobs be gobbled)
