February.  28 days (sometimes 29) that reside right in the heart of winter.  The month of February is often one of the coldest months we have - and sometimes one of the snowiest as well.  That's why it's good to have some holidays and celebrations to help pass the time and keep our mind off of how long winter can be sometimes.

The month of February brings a variety of different holidays and celebrations.  Valentine's Day.  Groundhog Day.  Presidents Day.  These holidays often bring the opportunity for cards, presents, special meals, days off, etc. In fact - some argue that these holidays are just excuses to buy things.  But a closer look at the calendar reveals that there is something special going on for each of the days of the month. Looked at through that lens, there is actually an awful lot going on during the second month of the year.
