Why Groundhog Day Is My Favorite Holiday

No presents to buy or gifts to wrap,
no cards to send,
no cake to bake,
no songs to sing,
no special greetings to remember,
no decorations to hang or take down,
no invitations to send,
no special clothes or costumes to wear,
no holiday visitors dropping by,
no special meals to prepare,
no weight gain,
no hangover,
no interruption of regularly scheduled programming,
no fear of commercialism replacing the religious meaning,
no burns from faulty fireworks,
no holiday anxiety attacks,
no penalty if you forget what day it is,
and if it’s a crappy day, you can do it over and over again until you get it right.
