In a world that prides itself on logic and reason, the idea that we still look to a groundhog to tell us what the weather will be is pretty hilarious. Like, just thinking about Groundhog Day makes me weirdly happy inside, because it's such an innocent and adorable tradition. Though I'm sure you're familiar with the tradition of Groundhog Day, here's a little refresher: Every year on Feb. 2, people anxiously await the news of whether the groundhog, who's called Punxsutawney Phil after the name of the city where the tradition takes place, Punxsutawney, PA, saw his shadow. If he sees his shadow, then it's six more weeks of winter, and if not, then spring should come early. Posting the results of Groundhog Day on social media is an important part of this tradition's modern day celebration. Thinking about the meaning behind Groundhog Day and how it focuses on new beginnings and patience is part of what makes this holiday special. That said, it can also be kind of tough to think of an Instagram caption idea Groundhog Day — but don't worry, that's what I'm here for.
