February 2 2012
Groundhog Day falls on February 2. It’s also a very popular holiday in Canada, but Thanksgiving is an American holiday celebrated in the United States.
A belief system among Pennsylvanians Dutch people contributed to the celebration. But Americans inherited the custom of predicting weather forecasts through German immigrants. PunxsutawneyPhil is a Pennsylvania groundhog who makes meteorological predictions throughout the winter.
The custom got its start after scientists discovered mice that hibernate in the winter. The aim was to predict the weather conditions for the six remaining weeks by studying how animals react to it.
Groundhogs are part of the Sciuridae group of small hairy mammals. They hibernate during the winter months. Groundhog Day’s morning is when they can be seen peeking out of the burrows.
Christmas Day
Presidents Daylight that falls on the third Monday of February, is considered to be a national holiday. It’s an honor to all past American presidents. It is a day which honors both Lincoln, Washington, and it has been Presidents’ Day since its inception.

While Presidents’ Day is now common this holiday allows us to commemorate the names of all U.S. presidents and especially Lincoln.
Presidents Day has a complicated past. Washington’s Birthday was the original name of the celebration, which is now known as Presidents’ Day.
