It's a HOG HOLIDAY!

Yep, there he is folks.....our neighbor to the East.....Punxatawney Phil!

Good old Phil saw his shadow---predicting 6 more weeks of winter.
Yet, despite the dire news, the party is going strong up there in Phil's homeland--Punxatawney.
Just goes to show you, in the dead of winter in a little Pennsylvania town---they have to do something to keep everyone's spirits up....

We can learn a lot from Phil and his neighbors.
Sometimes we just have to celebrate things that would otherwise not be celebration-worthy.
Throw parties and give hi-fives and dance in the street.
Because of a groundhog.

So, let's give this a whirl......

YES, I'M TALKING TO YOU......AND YOU......AND YOU......AND EVEN YOU
