Happy Thursday!! Hope everyone is doing well and having a nice week.

Here's the holidays . . .

Today the Christian and Pagan religions observe Candlemas. Specifically, the following countries observe this as a national Holiday:

Liechtenstein
Switzerland
Mexico (DÃƒÂa de la CandelarÃƒÂa)
Bolivia (Fiesta de la Virgen de Candelaria)
Sweden (KyndelsmÃƒÂ¤ssodagen)
Peru (Virgen de la Candelaria - Puno)

Brazil is celebrating Festa de Nossa Senhora dos Navegantes Porto Allegre. Boy is that a long name for a holiday.

Those of the Hindu belief are celebrating Vasanta Panchami which is also known as Saraswati Puja.

In the USA and CANADA it is Goundhog Day!!! Wonder what Punxsuwatawney Phil will have to say.

Have a great Thursday and an awesome Groundhog Day!!

Thatd be cool if someone kidnapped the groundhog like in Groundhog day. One thing that also gets me curious though is why do they do even bother having a Groundhog day celebration here in San Diego? Its not like were going to have 6 more weeks of winter either way, this city hasnt seen a winter or anything close to it......why even play around? BTW Good Morning back at ya
