I never, ever, in a million years understood Groundhog Day as a child. But now that I’m an adult? Nope- I STILL don’t understand it. I mean, we take a groundhog, hold it up, and we look for it’s shadow to determine if we have more winter? It makes no sense!
First, you would think that if it saw it’s shadow, that would mean sun and warmth- which obviously means spring is on it’s way. But it is actually the other way around. So I came up with my own conclusion: people are weird, and winter just lasts forever.
Even though I still very much believe that, I still make sure to check in to see if the groundhog saw it’s shadow every year. Whether folks believe it or not, it is a fun, silly tradition to keep going. 😉
If you want to share the groundhog traditions with you little ones, check out these adorable Groundhog Day Brownie Bites below! My mother always made these cute Groundhog Day Brownie Bites to pack in our lunchboxes on Groundhog Day
