I'll try to answer your question a little more accurately- This holiday is just for fun- it is an old tradition to watch for a groundhog to come out of his hole on Feb 2nd- if he sees his shadow and runs back into his burrow, we say we are going to get 6 more weeks of winter.  If he doesn't see his shadow, it will be an early spring.  There is a famous groundhog used for this, his name is Punxsutawney Phil.  This year? Why it's 6 more weeks of winter for us!!

Thanksgiving is the fourth Thursday in November.  While Thanksgiving itself is a single day, the holiday always includes the following Friday, making for a four-day weekend.  \n\nThe holiday originated, according to legend, with the settlers of the Massachusetts Bay Colony in the 1620s.  Their first winter was terribly hard, and they suffered greatly due to ignorance of the climate, soil and local growing and hunting conditions.  According to the myth, they made friends with the local native American tribes, who taught them how to recognize local fruits, vegetables and game, including pumpkins, maize, cranberries, and turkey.\n\nAt the end of the next harvest, the colonists proclaimed a great feast of thanksgiving and honored the native American tribes that had helped them survive the previous winter.  It is still celebrated as a day to give thanks for the good things that have happened during the preceding year.\n\nIn practice, Thanksgiving is a huge feast including a number of foods native to North America -- roast turkey, pumpkin pie, cranberry sauce, sweet potatoes, and others.  This feast is always eaten on Thursday, though the leftovers can last, depending on the size of the household, for weeks.  \n\nIn recent years, Thanksgiving has also marked the start, in earnest, of the Christmas merchandising season.  The Macy's department store has, since the 1930s, sponsored a Thanksgiving Day parade in New York, with large inflated characters interspersed among marching bands and civic groups.  The Friday after Thanksgiving has become known as "Black Friday" and is typically the single largest retail sales day in the United States.  \n\nIn reaction to what many people see as the overcommercialization of this holiday (not to mention modern life in general), recent years have seen a growth in Buy Nothing Day, a movement to reverse the hype and mania for rabid consumption that Thanksgiving has come to represent (particularly in its "gateway holiday" role as the opening of the Christmas bacchanalia).  Originating in Canada, Buy Nothing day has come to signify a "detox" from the incessant drone of marketing, merchandising and status.  \n\nSpeaking of Canada, there is also a Thanksgiving in Canada, but it's celebrated on the second Monday in October, making for a three-day weekend.  Both the Canadian and the US Thanksgiving days are believed to be derived from the British Harvest Festivals, held at the end of summer since ancient times.\n\nYou can read more in the Wikipedia article I posted below, and also in the Adbusters Web site on Buy Nothing Day.

Unlike most of the other nonfoolish holidays, the history of April Fool's Day, sometimes called All Fool's Day, is not totally clear. There really wasn't a "first April Fool's Day" that can be pinpointed on the calendar. Some believe it sort of evolved simultaneously in several cultures at the same time, from celebrations involving the first day of spring. \n\nThe closest point in time that can be identified as the beginning of this tradition was in 1582, in France. Prior to that year, the new year was celebrated for eight days, beginning on March 25. The celebration culminated on April 1. With the reform of the calendar under Charles IX, the Gregorian Calendar was introduced, and New Year's Day was moved to January 1. \n\nHowever, communications being what they were in the days when news traveled by foot, many people did not receive the news for several years. Others, the more obstinate crowd, refused to accept the new calendar and continued to celebrate the new year on April 1. These backward folk were labeled as "fools" by the general populace. They were subject to some ridicule, and were often sent on "fools errands" or were made the butt of other practical jokes. \n\nThis harassment evolved, over time, into a tradition of prank-playing on the first day of April. The tradition eventually spread to England and Scotland in the eighteenth century. It was later introduced to the American colonies of both the English and French. April Fool's Day thus developed into an international fun fest, so to speak, with different nationalities specializing in their own brand of humor at the expense of their friends and families. \n\nIn Scotland, for example, April Fool's Day is actually celebrated for two days. The second day is devoted to pranks involving the posterior region of the body. It is called Taily Day. The origin of the "kick me" sign can be traced to this observance. \n\nMexico's counterpart of April Fool's Day is actually observed on December 28. Originally, the day was a sad remembrance of the slaughter of the innocent children by King Herod. It eventually evolved into a lighter commemoration involving pranks and trickery. \n\nPranks performed on April Fool's Day range from the simple, (such as saying, "Your shoe's untied!), to the elaborate. Setting a roommate's alarm clock back an hour is a common gag. Whatever the prank, the trickster usually ends it by yelling to his victim, "April Fool!" \n\nPractical jokes are a common practice on April Fool's Day. Sometimes, elaborate practical jokes are played on friends or relatives that last the entire day. The news media even gets involved. For instance, a British short film once shown on April Fool's Day was a fairly detailed documentary about "spaghetti farmers" and how they harvest their crop from the spaghetti trees. \n\nApril Fool's Day is a "for-fun-only" observance. Nobody is expected to buy gifts or to take their "significant other" out to eat in a fancy restaurant. Nobody gets off work or school. It's simply a fun little holiday, but a holiday on which one must remain forever vigilant, for he may be the next April Fool!

Wrap up well and keep warm then embrace it head on? go outside do some work; leave out feed for the birds, take the dog for a walk, get involved with the day and make use of it, don't let it weigh you down with gloom and doom type thinking.\nA Snow day is as wonderful on this planet as a Sunny day both have their hidden beauty, or at least is's not at first ovbious, so take a better deeper longer and good look at a snow day, and get involved with it.

Some people seem to have the inate ability to figure out the day of the week at any point in time, either the future or the past by recognizing the pattern. Often it is an idiot savant that is possesing of this ability.  That is a person who is capable of not much more than this strange talent.  These people are called calendar savants. The third source explains "how" some of these people are able to do this.

That sounds like the story I heard about the origin of that phrase.  Also, they hired people to stay up all night and stand by with shovels in case the bell rang. That is the origin of the term "graveyard shift" for people who work nights.
