December Food Holidays
How Many Ways Can You Spell O-v-e-r-l-o-a-d?

In addition to holiday celebrations with family, friends and neighbors; workplace parties; New Year’s Eve; holiday baking; and all of those food gifts you receive; there are these important national food holidays that are...almost obligatory.
If ever there were a month with “a round-up of the usual suspects,” December is it: candy canes, date nut bread, egg nog, fruit cake, maple syrup, pumpkin pie, pfeffernuesse, suckling pig, even hard candy, a traditional stocking-stuffer. And OK, kiwi fruit is at least seasonally green. But National Cotton Candy Day seem like it belongs in the summer, with fairs and amusement parks...and Eat A Red Apple Day seems like it missed the boat by a couple of months.
