February Holidays - Celebrate With Food

Around the world there are 38 holidays in February. In the United States we observe four holidays although only one is actually a national holiday. Lincoln's and Washington's birthdays used to be observed separately, but were finally grouped together into one holiday known as President's Day. President's Day is the legal holiday and all federal offices are closed as are most schools and city offices. Other days which may be observed in February in the United States are Groundhog Day and Valentine's Day. Groundhog Day is observed on February 2nd in the United States and Canada. Folklore has it that if the groundhog comes out of his burrow and cannot see his shadow then spring is not far behind. If he can see his shadow then he retreats back to his burrow and winter will continue for another six weeks.
