Winter Solstice

It Will Be a Long Night

This day marks the beginning of astronomical winter. It's the shortest day of the year. And, that means it's all uphill from here. While winter has just begun, the days will now begin to grow longer.

Did You Know? There is also a day we call meteorological winter. It falls on December 1. But, aside from meteorologists, few people recognize it.

Put on Your Own Shoes Day

If the Shoe Fits, Weatr It

Wait just a minute! I'm not putting my feet into a place where someone else's stinky piggy toes have been. And I don't want someone wearing my shoes either.

On the other hand (or foot), perhaps you see a classy pair of shoes or sneakers. And they're kind you've always wanted. But they're out of your price range.

International Monkey Day

Hear No Evil, See No Evil, Speak No Evil

Now here's a true global holiday. Why? Simply because people around the world love monkeys. Grab some bananas. This is the kind of holiday you can go ape about. While the title says "Monkey", we hope you celebrate baboons, chimpanzees, and gorillas, too.

You may not choose to hang around in trees today. However, this is a day to monkey around and go ape.

National Maple Syrup Day

America's Favorite Pancake Topping

This is one of those national December holidays you won't want to miss. Pancakes, waffles, and French toast would not be the same without maple syrup. So, it's only fitting that there's a special national day to celebrate this sweet treat. While you're enjoying maple syrup for breakfast, don't forget to bake some maple cookies, and grab some maple candy and fudge. Then, make it a perfect day with maple ice cream for a snack tonight!

Maple Syrup is made from the sap of maple trees and is harvested in the late winter as the sap begins to run in the trees. Vermont and New York State are the biggest producers.
