Well Hello! 2021 is in full swing with the last day of January in the rearview mirror and a snowy start to February in large parts of this great Nation of ours. Will our beloved groundhog in Pennsylvania see his shadow? 

Although an abbreviated month, February does offers some fun-packed holidays and long-standing traditions. One such event began in the United States in 1967 after a grand merger involving two large football conferences. The powers in charge decided it was time for teams in the East and teams in the West to duke it out at the end of a season in the game of all games, the final Battle of the Pig Skin!

This particular Sunday in the second month of the year is unique in that people set aside bitterness about their team’s loss to come together to watch two hailing teams display their skills on a massive field. People go all out decorating their homes and buying heaps of drink and comfort food for the onslaught of friends and family.

However, this year, things will look a little different for the most expensive ticket in town. With the current pandemic recommendations from top medical experts, advise against gathering groups of people outside your immediate household indoors. That doesn't mean you need to suffer. It means you should treat yourself and your family by decorating to the nines and getting all of your food favs for this coming February 7th.
