Ground Hog Day Napkin Rings
Groundhog Day (Canadian French: Jour de la Marmotte;
Pennsylvania German: Grundsaudaag, Murmeltiertag) is a
traditional holiday originating in the United States that is
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 arrive early, some time before the vernal
equinox; 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. Modern customs of the holiday
involve early morning celebrations to watch the groundhog
emerging from its burrow.
In southeastern Pennsylvania, Groundhog Lodes (Grundsow
Lodges) celebrate the holiday with fersommlinge,[2] social events
in which food is served, speeches are made, and one or more
g'spiel (plays or skits) are performed for entertainment. The
Pennsylvania German dialect is the only language spoken at the
event, and those who speak English pay a penalty, usually in the
form of a nickel, dime, or quarter per word spoken, with the
money put into a bowl in the center of the table.
Groundhog Day was more widely adopted in the U.S. in 1887.
Clymer H. Freas was the editor of the local paper Punxsutawney
Spirit at the time, and he began promoting the town’s groundhog
as the official "Groundhog Day meteorologist".
The largest Groundhog Day celebration is held in Punxsutawney,
Pennsylvania, with Punxsutawney Phil. Groundhog Day, already a
widely recognized and popular tradition,received widespread
attention as a result of the 1993 film Groundhog Day.
