Happy Groundhog Day 2016!!!

[heartbone]

Groundhog Day (Canadian French: Jour de la Marmotte; Pennsylvania German: Grundsaudaag, Murmeltiertag) is a traditional holiday celebrated on February 2. According to folklore, if it is cloudy when a groundhog emerges from its burrow on this day, then the spring season will come early; if it is sunny, the groundhog will supposedly see its shadow and retreat back into its den, and winter weather will persist for six more weeks.

ok my lame joke was too subtle hey speaking of, do you guys have life insurance? because if you do, you could always use a little more, right? I mean, who couldn't? But you wanna know something? I got the feeling you guys ain't got any. Am I right or am I right? Or am I right? Am I right? right?

Yay !
In France we call it Chandeleur (Candlemas), and the celtic paganist european tradition is more linked to the bear, not the Groundhog. Here's the wikipedia : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candlemas and a french folk page about it with some music : http://coeremieu.duo.free.fr/coeremieu. ... ..%22.html
