December Holidays you wouldn't expect.

Date When Celebrated: Always December 21

Humbug Day allows everyone preparing for Christmas to vent their frustrations.

Sure, venting frustration over the stress of Christmas is appropriate for this day. But, I believe Humbug Day is much more. I believe Humbug Day brings out the Scrooge in all of us. Scrooges all over have been waiting for this day. They go far beyond venting a few frustrations. Many scrooges are negative towards Christmas in general, and can put a real damper on your Christmas spirit.

Use Bah Humbug Day to release the stress of the holiday season. But, whatever you do, avoid becoming a real, bonafide Christmas Scrooge.

Go Caroling Day is a wonderful, rewarding, and memory filled day. Christmas holiday caroling is a great opportunity to enjoy the holiday and appreciate its meaning.

It may take a little planning to make your Christmas Caroling happen. For example, scout groups frequently go caroling to nursing homes and senior citizen centers. Afterwards, a caroling event is often topped off with hot chocolate and cookies.

Enjoy Go Caroling Day to its fullest!

Date When Celebrated: September 8 or December 22

Enjoy a tasty bread for the holidays on National Date Nut Bread Day. It's the perfect bread for the season. It contains nuts and sugar, but is not heavy on the sugar. Date Nut Bread is quite popular.

There is some question as to the correct date for this special day. A survey of the net, resulted in roughly half of the references for this day claiming it is on September 8th. Yet this day fits well in the holiday season. Date Nut Bread is popular for the holidays.

Get your fill of Date Nut Bread. After all, that's what the day is for.

Celebrate your genealogy on Roots Day.  It's a great day to celebrate your heritage. Returning to our roots is a warm, cozy and comfortable feeling, a sense of belonging.

I often get caught up, and become captivated, with researching and uncovering my family roots. This hobby is the study of Genealogy. Genealogy can take interesting twists and turns. We often discover we come from exciting and fascinating places. We find links to famous people in history. Sometimes, we come upon dead ends to our genealogical family tree. Other times, we find a distant relative, who has performed some of the very same research. The result of the encounter could be huge sections of the family tree, literally handed to you.

Celebrate this day, by learning more about your family tree, and exploring your roots.

We hope that you haven't quite had your fill of chocolate during the holidays, as Christmas Eve is also National Chocolate Day.

Most of us have been enjoying chocolate treats all month long. All of the holiday parties have ample supplies for chocolate candies, cookies and other treats. Christmas get-togethers and Christmas stockings have plenty of chocolate. Wherever you go this month, chocolate of some kind has been less than an arms length away.

National Chocolate Anything Day occurs earlier in the month. I wonder why there are two practically identical holidays so close together. Duh, chocoholics like me! If you count yourself in this group, and I hope you do, then every day should be National Chocolate Day!

December 25 is a very, very special day. It's National Pumpkin Pie Day. It's one of America's favorite pies. Pumpkin pie is steeped in holiday tradition. The peak consumption period for pumpkin pie begins at the fall harvest, and lasts all the way through to the Christmas meal and dessert.

One might wonder why have National Pumpkin Pie Day on this day. It remains a mystery. However, I am thankful for this special recognition, and will certainly have a little pumpkin pie with our whipped cream that day!

Did you know that there are at least two Christmas songs that sing the tradition of eating pumpkin pie for the holidays?Those songs are Home for the Holidays and Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree.

....ohh, and Merry Christmas, too!
