Have Winter Fun with Ground Hog Day

Easy to Party

JUNEANN REED
Of course your theme is easy for this fun day. Brown is the color. Clouds and cold or sunshine and warm are basics for your decor.

Brown food suggestions:
chocolate
beans
meats
brown rice
baked potatoes
peanut butter
pancakes/waffles
hash browns
brownies/chocolate cake
pears?
cookies
graham crackers
tacos
bread
pineapple

Brown decoration suggestions:
Furry brown fabric - cut a circle a place the woolly piece on everyone's head
leaves
silk flowers
sand/dirt

Use any brown dishes you may have - or lined baskets. Decorate plain paper or plastic cups or napkins in brown.

Iced tea, pop, chocolate milk or something tinted brown will make great theme soft drinks.

Perhaps half of the table could have little sunshine decorations - simple, of course - and half could have snowflakes or other wintry trinkets.

Make up a ground hog poem or silly joke.

Example
It's ground hog day
And we will know
Six more weeks
Of warmth or snow.

What is green and comes out of his hole on ground hog day?
A ground frog.

Simply said - have fun on groundhog day!

  • Make any event a time to celebrate and have fun together.
  • Ground hog party? Why not?
  • Cut a piece of woolly fabric and place on everyone's head.
Life can be boring. Our family doesn't have time to do fun things together. Everything costs too much. Have a ground hog dinner celebration and it won't be boring, you will have fun and it won't cost much!
