Groundhog's Day
Groundhog's Day (February 2) is not an official holiday, but an American tradition. If the groundhog (an animal native to North America) comes out of its hole in the ground, sees its shadow and runs back into the hole out of fright, spring will take a full six weeks to come. Traditionally, the groundhog in question is one named "Phil," who makes his home on "Gobbler's Knob" in the small town of Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania. If the groundhog doesn't see its shadow, spring will come early. Next Section: St. Valentine's Day American Community: Chapter Home
