So many fun days to celebrate, only 31 days to do it in. Welcome to December Days to Celebrate. Let's begin:


In December we can celebrate Read A New Book all month long.

December 1st brings us Eat A Red Apple Day followed by Wear Brown Shoes Day on December 4th and Walt Disney's birthday - December 5th, he was born in Chicago in 1901.

Take a moment to thank a veteran as we remember Pearl Harbor on December 7th.

Next up is National Brownie Day on December 8th and Hanukkah begins at sunset on December 11th.

Poinsettia Day is celebrated on December 12th, watch for all those rich red flowers as well as the new designer colors.


Did you know that the first miniature golf course was opened in 1929 on December 14th? Fore!

National Cupcake Day is celebrated on December 15th. If you are anywhere near Cupcake Jones in Portland, Oregon, stop in and sample their delicious offereings. I had the opportunity while I was there for Sock Summit to see what all the fuss was about and their cupcakes are awesome.

Beethoven celebrates a birthday on December 16th and he should get musical cakes for all his hard work making good music.

The Wright Brothers get a day to celebrate for their first flight at Kitty Hawk on December 17th. You can get goofy on December 18th with Wear A Plunger on Your Head Day. And the First Day of Winter and Bah! Humbug Day share a day to celebrate on December 21st.



National Eggnog Day is slated for December 24th and Christmas is celebrated on December 25th. Kwanzaa begins on December 26th.

Chocolate is celebrated nationally on December 28th and the bowling ball was invented on December 29th back in 1862. Break out the champagne and celebrate the end of the month and the end of the year with New Year's Eve on December 31st.

I hope everyone has found something to celebrate this month. See you next year!
