National Food Holidays: December

• National Fruit Cake Month
• National Egg Nog Month

• Cookie Cutter Week First Week
• Lager Beer Week Second Week

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.
