February may be the shortest month, but it is one of the busiest months.  It is chock full of holidays. And they just happen to be holidays that I have written about.  Enhance your holiday celebrations and observances by taking a look at what I have written. 

Black History Month

First of all, February is Black History Month.

I have collected some of the best of martin Luther King Jr.’s quotes, organized them by topic, and added my own commentary. His thoughts on religion may surprise you. Also, if you thought Dr. King was only about civil rights, read what he had to say about war and poverty.

I also did two news print poems--one about MLK, Jr. and one about Black History Month.

Racism Isn’t History After All

Groundhog Day

February 2^nd, Groundhog Day. There is a classic movie called Groundhog Day.  See it or see it again. It is about a man who has to live a certain Groundhog Day over and over until he gets it right. It’s about getting a do-over or a second chance. There seems to be a universal longing for do-overs. I wrote about how to get a do-over in real life.

Chinese New Year
Chinese New Year often falls in February. In 2018, it falls one February 16.  Celebrate with some Chinese food and by reading this News Print Poem I did back in 2012 when it was the year of the dragon.

Darwin Day

Celebrate Darwin Day on February 12 to recognize the amazing contributions Charles Darwin made to science. Darwin was a member of the clergy, but he advanced atheism with his work. He explained the origin of species.
