Thanks to my brother, for saving me oodles of time in today's Groundhog Day post; please, read his blog today (and every day - he has a highly entertaining blog). I echo most of his words, except I still like Valentine's day. Sorry.
But back to Groundhog Day. I just want to put an additional plug in for the movie, which is truly a classic. With each viewing, it gets funnier and I learn something new. It does a great job at teaching you to appreciate life, look outside yourself and serve others, without ever preaching. Seminary videos can't hold a candle to it, really. So even if you're not going to be throwing an extravaganza, do yourself a favor and start a tradition of watching this movie on the holiday every year. You can work up to the full-blown shin-dig (which brings to mind another Bill Murray gem...baby steps to watching the movie...baby steps to inviting friends and family over for an annual party...baby steps to taking the day off work every year...).
Happy Groundhog Day!!

There's something genetic in your family. I am glad I do not share those genes. I mean, it does seem fun and all -- but honestly, I'm all holiday'd out by now. :) I can barely gear-up for Valentines (and I'm room mom, so I have to).
G, I hope we live closer to each other some day so you can teach me how to properly celebrate this holiday. Currently I am still at the "GHD? When's that? And what does it mean?" phase.
