    FRAMINGHAM, MA, February 02, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Today, Punxsutawney Phil will celebrate 125 years of weather prognostication. Millions of people will visit Groundhog.org to celebrate and participate in the revelry. One free feature on Groundhog.org is the ability to send a Groundhog Day eCard. The Punxsutawney Groundhog Club chose Punchbowl as its technology provider for eCards this year.

"We're delighted to be the exclusive provider of eCards for Groundhog.org," said Matt Douglas, CEO, Punchbowl. "Our unique and fun designs will bring a smile to the millions of people who celebrate Groundhog Day."

Visitors to Groundhog.org can choose from a selection of free eCards for Groundhog Day, including designs that mark the 125th anniversary of the holiday. Each eCard can be customized with the ability to change the color, customize the text, or upload an image to the design. In addition, consumers can optionally choose to purchase a membership to unlock premium designs and remove advertising.

Groundhog eCards are a perfect way to spread cheer during the doldrums of winter. They are great for anyone who loves the weather or enjoys quirky holidays. eCards also offer an eco-friendly way for teachers to educate their class about the history and folklore of Groundhog Day.

Punchbowl founder & CEO, Matt Douglas, has his own nostalgic ties to the holiday. In 1997, he drove twelve hours to Punxsutawney, PA to partake in the Groundhog Day festivities. The trip resulted in entrance to the "Inner Circle," an article on the front page of newspapers around the country, and the birth of a family tradition -- an annual Groundhog Day party.
