And You Said February Was A Dreaded Month Of The Year?

By: Warren Hodges

Very few people look forward to February, a month that falls in the thick of winter and often leaves us feeling as if the cold weather will never end.

On the positive side, there are some exciting events that should help to pass the time during this month. It's also the shortest month there is, as the 28 days should help to bring an end to February more quickly than with other months.

Let's take a look at a few things to look forward to during the second month of the year. Maybe you'll even learn about something new in the process.

There are a few holidays during the course of the month, all of which mark the occurrence of something meaningful. It all starts off with Groundhog's Day, which is a fun day of the year for anyone who dreads winter and can't wait for it to end.

If there's someone special in your life, Valentine's day will give you the opportunity to do something fun and romantic with your loved one. Maybe you can even plan a weekend getaway for the two of you, as the holiday falls on a Sunday this year.

A week after that, President's Day comes. Students love this for the fact that a day off or an extended break may come with it, but many employers offer the day off to their workforce too. Enjoy your free time if you don't have to work on this holiday.

I've focused on holidays so far, but there's a lot more to be excited about too, especially if you're into sports. As you may well know, the olympics will take place during the month of February, and the coverage of the events should make this once every four years occasion really special.

If you're a basketball fan, you'll have the NBA All-Star weekend to look forward to during the second half of the month. Not only will you get to see the best players in the sport going head to head, but the slam dunk and three point contests should make things even more enjoyable.
