Groundhog Day
Groundhog Day is celebrated every
year on February 2nd in both the
United States and Canada. The
folklore states that on February 2nd if
a groundhog emerges from his hole
and fails to see his shadow, he will
leave his burrow - signifying that
winter will end soon. But if the Groundhog does see his shadow he
will retreat down into his burrow, and winter will last for another 6
weeks!

The Chinese Zodiac (known as Sheng Xiao) is similar to the Western Zodiac in that
it follows a cycle of 12 elements that reflect personal characteristics. However, our
zodiac is based on 12 months of the year whereas the Chinese zodiac is based on
12 years.
The Chinese believe that people who are born in a particular year of the 12 year
cycle take on the characteristics of an animal.
