December Foodie Holidays

Happy December everybody! Been out of commission for a while due to an increasingly packed schedule. But it’s the first of the month and it’s time to learn about our disavowed national holidays from Mr. Squirrel (or is it Mrs? maybe Ms.?). It really is the holiday season, but there are other days that deserve recognition, like World AIDS Day which is on the 1st. Of course, there are the biggies that (mostly) everyone knows (and these are in chronological order according to my Just Chocolate Labs calendar) — Hanukkah, Winter Solstice, Christmas, Kwanzaa, Boxing Day, and New Year’s Eve. But here are some of the other national holidays that we should incorporate into our regular rotation.
1 Pie Day
2 Fritters Day
4 Cookie Day
7 Cotton Candy Day
8 Brownie Day
10 Lager Day!!!
11 Noodle Ring Day
12 Ambrosia Day
13 Cocoa Day
16 Chocolate Covered Anything Day
21 French Fried Shrimp Day
24 Egg Nog Day
25 Pumpkin Pie Day
There are lots of links for folks to check out this month. Personally, my favorite is “Chocolate Covered Anything Day”, but how can you not love a holiday all about Baking Soda?
