SUMMARY:National Rice Day
DESCRIPTION:Each year on December 4th\, National Dice Day recognizes an ancient gaming tool. Many games incorporate dice as a way to add random challenges or obstacles to the objectives. It’s time to roll the dice and see where you land! \n\n\n\n#NationalDiceDay\n\n\n\nPlayers typically throw dice onto a flat surface from their hands or a cup. The uppermost face of the die after it comes to rest determines the value of the throw. One popular dice game is craps where wagers are made on the total value of the throw of the dice. Frequently used in board games\, players use dice to randomize their moves\, commonly by deciding the distance a piece will move on a board. Favorite board games using dice include backgammon and Monopoly. \n\n\n\nPlayers originally made dice from the talus (ankle bone) of hoofed animals. They also used ivory\, wood\, and plastics in making dice. Dice also come in many shapes and colors.  \n\n\n\nHOW TO OBSERVE NATIONAL DICE DAY\n\n\n\nPlay a game using dice. Or hang those fuzzy dice on the rear-view mirror. If you have two dies\, you might be in pair o’ dice. Use #NationalDiceDay to post on social media.

SUMMARY:Mitten Tree Day
DESCRIPTION:On December 6th\, Mitten Tree Day celebrates the gift of warmth. It’s a day to collect mittens\, hang them on a Christmas tree\, and then hand them out to those in need. \n\n\n\nThose who live in cold climates understand the necessity of mittens. This winter clothing item is essential for keeping the hands warm while outdoors. Unfortunately\, however\, there are many children around the world who are without adequate winter clothing\, which includes mittens. \n\n\n\nMittens have been around for hundreds of years. Those in cold climates made mittens from fur\, animal skin\, and whatever other materials could be found to keep the hands warm. Many believe the oldest mittens come from Latvia and are over 1\,000 years old. Latvians didn’t just use mittens to keep their hands warm\, however. When Latvian women married\, they were given a hope chest with several pairs of knitted mittens. The unique patterns on the mittens had specific meanings. Some patterns signified a blessing for their home while other patterns were used to bless members of their families. \n\n\n\nOne of the earliest known mittens in the United States dates back to 1803. The mitten contained a poem knitted into the wool. During the Civil War\, Abby Condon produced hand-knitted mittens for soldiers\, and she recruited women from all over New England to help her. About 1\,500 workers produced 15\,000 mittens in just one year. \n\n\n\nSo as you can see\, all throughout history\, mittens have been given away as gifts and for those in need. This special day helps to keep this tradition alive. \n\n\n\nHOW TO OBSERVE #MittenTreeDay\n\n\n\nEvery year on this day\, schools\, churches\, and charitable organizations set up a Christmas tree and ask people to donate mittens. The mittens are hung on the tree and then distributed to those in need. You can participate by putting up a Mitten Tree in your place of work\, worship\, or in your home. Ask your family\, friends\, and coworkers to donate mittens. Many communities have child advocacy organizations that are in need of mittens and other warm clothing items for winter. You can also share this day on social media with #MittenTreeDay.

SUMMARY:Christmas Card Day
DESCRIPTION:Each year around this time\, friends and families begin mailing their holiday cards. Christmas Card Day on December 9th serves as a reminder to get your stamps\, envelopes\, and cards together so you can share your holiday cheer. \n\n\n\n#ChristmasCardDay\n\n\n\nSending a card during the holidays hasn’t always been a tradition. In Victorian England\, sending Penny Post was inexpensive and frequent. It was also considered rude to ignore a written message. One particularly popular Victorian invented the holiday card out of necessity. Sir Henry Cole received frequent letters\, and it left him little time for other responsibilities. In 1843\, he asked his friend J.C. Horsley to illustrate a design he had in mind. Soon\, Cole was off to the printer\, and he mailed the first Christmas card in the Penny Post to friends\, family\, and many acquaintances.  \n\n\n\nToday\, we mail a variety of cards at Christmastime. The tradition of Christmas cards continues in a broader sense. Social and electronic media keep us connected in this modern world more than ever before. However\, the Christmas card continues to be a part of our annual tradition\, even if it takes on a different style or pattern. \n\n\n\n\nPhoto cards – Many families take an annual holiday photo specifically for mailing to friends and family. These photos may be snapshots or professional photos. Most families save them from social media\, so they remain a surprise when they arrive in the mail\, too.\n\n\n\nChristmas letter – These letters often highlight the events for each family member for the year. Not everyone has social media\, so it’s a nice way to catch up with friends and family. The letters usually run a page in length\, but some letter writers have a lot more to say.\n\n\n\nPostcards – These simple cards generally send the same holiday message a regular Christmas card does\, but without a fold or an envelope. With a photo on one side and a simple message on the other\, they are quick and easy to send\, too.\n\n\n\n\n\nBusiness card – Christmas cards also come from businesses who want to remind us they still want our business. As a marketing tool\, businesses know their best customers like to be remembered during the holidays\, too.\n\n\n\nNew Year’s cards – The holidays do get busy\, and some of us put off sending any holiday cards until New Year. They still want to keep in touch with family and friends\, so they send their good wishes in the form of a Happy New Year card. So\, don’t mark anyone off your Christmas card list until after the first of the year.\n\n\n\nThese holiday cards may be the only communication we receive all year long from a friend or family member. Even if we spent an abundance of time with them once\, these once-a-year notes touch us with a bit of meaning this time of year. We take the time to connect once again and say\, “We’re thinking of you.”\n\n\n\n\n·         HOW TO OBSERVE CHRISTMAS CARD DAY\n\n\n\n\nUpdate your mailing list. Gather the stamps and pick out your favorite card. Will you be writing personal notes on each card? Or will you send a mass letter? Dress up the pets or family members for a last-minute photo\, too. Get ready to be glitter bombed as the holiday cards begin pouring in your mail studded with Ho Ho Hos! and holiday greetings of all kinds. Share your favorite Christmas card style by using #ChristmasCardDay on social media.

SUMMARY:National Stretching Day
DESCRIPTION:https://www.helpguide.org/wellness/fitness/chair-exercises-and-limited-mobility-fitness \n\n\n\nOn December 11\, National Stretching Day is dedicated to educating people on the numerous benefits that come with practitioner assisted-stretching. \n\n\n\nFlexibility is one of the most significant components to leading a healthy lifestyle. When most think about stretching\, it is in relation to one or two stand-by stretches that are held for a few seconds and released. However\, this isn’t the most efficient form of stretching. \n\n\n\nThere is a way to stretch that can make you feel a difference. On National Stretching Day\, we are bringing awareness to why incorporating practitioner assisted-stretching into your everyday routine will make your movements more efficient. In fact\, your stretching movements will be more effortless and pain-free on a daily basis. \n\n\n\nImportance of Stretching\n\n\n\nWhy is stretching important? Stretching improves our lifestyle and helps us live a better life. When we stretch daily\, we increase our mobility and keep our muscles flexible and strong. Due to sedentary lifestyles of growing older or over stressed muscles\, people develop excessive resting muscle tone causing everyday movement to be difficult\, cumbersome\, or painful. Our independence becomes compromised\, partially due to a greater inability to move. \n\n\n\nDaily stretching exercises or getting regularly stretched by a certified practitioner will keep joints moving efficiently as we age. This will keep our body healthy. A few additional key benefits to stretching: \n\n\n\n\nRelieves stiffness and soreness in your joints.\n\n\n\nIncreases and maintains your active range of motion.\n\n\n\nImproves circulation and blood flow.\n\n\n\nMitigates muscle imbalances that can lead to poor posture. Strengthening and stretching specific muscle groups can assist in promoting proper alignment.\n\n\n\nRe-establishes a more ideal resting muscle tone and optimal muscle extensibility making movement easier and more efficient.\n\n\n\nSupports injury prevention\, enhances athletic skills and improves your ability to do daily activities.\n\n\n\nHelps with stress reduction\, calming the mind and decreasing tension headaches.\n\n\n\nIt makes you feel lighter and younger.\n\n\n\n\nLET LOOSE \n\n\n\n\nDevelop a new daily stretching routine and stick to it.\n\n\n\nLearn about the short and long-term benefits of stretching.\n\n\n\nJoin a Yoga class.\n\n\n\nPlay a nightly game of Twister with your family and have fun stretching.\n\n\n\nVolunteer at a retirement facility and engage residents to practice daily stretching techniques.\n\n\n\nJoin a stretching class.\n\n\n\nDocument your stretching journey and watch your progress.\n\n\n\nLearn about the Stretch Zone Method.\n\n\n\nShare your photos of your stretching routine on social media using #NationalStretchingDay.

SUMMARY:National Cocoa Day
DESCRIPTION:December 13th ushers in a celebration worthy of the winter holidays with National Cocoa Day. What better way to warm up after a cold day outside? \n\n\n\n#NationalCocoaDay\n\n\n\nWe make hot cocoa with cocoa powder\, heated milk or water\, and sugar. However\, Americans often use hot chocolate and hot cocoa interchangeably\, sometimes causing a bit of confusion. There is a difference between the two beverages. We make hot chocolate by using ground chocolate containing cocoa butter. We mix it with hot milk\, and it is drinking chocolate.

SUMMARY:National Say it Now
DESCRIPTION:December 17 is National Say It Now Day as a day to tell friends and loved ones how important they are to us by expressing gratitude for all the ways they’ve impacted our lives. With the year winding down\, it’s the perfect time to show gratitude to those around us for all they have done during the year.  \n\n\n\n#NationalSayItNowDay\n\n\n\nWe all need to make time for gratitude. National Say It Now Day gives us a chance to pause and reflect on what people mean to us. We encourage people everywhere to take a moment to tell their friends and loved ones how much they mean to them while they are still around to hear it. Don’t wait! Say It Now!  \n\n\n\nPracticing gratitude is more than saying “thank you.” It’s about showing appreciation for the good things brought into our life. Each time we practice gratitude\, we create a sense of happiness and positivity. In fact\, the happiness we create not only shifts our own thinking\, it also shifts the thinking of those receiving it.  \n\n\n\n5 Benefits of Gratitude\n\n\n\nResearch shows that gratitude can enhance our moods\, decrease stress and improve our overall health and wellbeing. On average\, grateful people tend to have fewer stress-related illnesses. Research also shows people who show and practice gratitude are more physically fit\, happier\, and have more satisfying personal and professional relationships\, too. Showing consistent gratitude improves: \n\n\n\n\nMental Health – Gratitude has been known to help people feel happier. In fact\, showing gratitude helps reduce anxiety and depression and even manager stress. \n\n\n\nSelf-Esteem – Showing gratitude motivates people to care for themselves\, both physically and mentally. When someone practices gratitude daily\, they become more aware of the positive impact it has. \n\n\n\nRelationships – Practicing gratitude strengthens relationships with others. Each time you show gratitude you share positive emotions that encourage others to return the kindness.\n\n\n\nPositive mindset – People who practice gratitude daily tend to face obstacles in a more optimistic manner\, including solving problems and making decisions without over-reacting.\n\n\n\nBuilds Resilience – Each time we practice gratitude\, we learn to focus on positive emotions\, which results in healing or recovering from hardship quicker and easier. By facing any obstacle life throws at us with gratitude and grace\, we program our brain to realize moments of uncertainty are only temporary.

SUMMARY:Go Caroling Day
DESCRIPTION:Tune-up your voice on December 20th so you can join others on Go Caroling Day! Caroling is the practice of singing Christmas songs from door to door as a form of celebration. The word carol means a joyful song or dance. \n\n\n\n#GoCarolingDay\n\n\n\nThe tradition of singing carols has roots in pagan celebrations of the Winter Solstice. Carols were later adopted by the Christian faith to celebrate the nativity during the 4th and 5th centuries and were primarily sung in Latin. St. Francis of Assisi improved the popularity of singing carols when he paired the songs with stories (canticles)\, and the songs were performed in modern languages. The Victorian era saw a surge in caroling\, and many popular caroling songs still sung today were written during this era. \n\n\n\nThough caroling is not as popular as it once was\, it’s still a tradition many families\, communities\, and churches look forward to every year. Some popular caroling songs include: \n\n\n\n\nHere Comes Santa Claus\n\n\n\nJingle Bells\n\n\n\nO Christmas Tree\n\n\n\nSilent Night\n\n\n\nWe Wish You A Merry Christmas\n\n\n\nJoy to the World\n\n\n\nLet it\, Snow!

SUMMARY:National Candy Cane Day - Share Your Favorite Peppermint Recipes
DESCRIPTION:National Candy Cane Day on December 26th gives candy lovers a day to celebrate the red and white striped candies found abundantly during the holidays.  \n\n\n\n#NationalCandyCaneDay\n\n\n\nIn 1844\, a recipe for a straight peppermint candy stick\, which was white with colored stripes\, was published. However\, some stories tell of all-white candy sticks in much earlier times. Folklore tells of the origin of the candy cane\, yet no documented proof of its real beginning. Literature begins mentioning the candy cane in 1866\, and it was first known to be mentioned in connection with Christmas in 1874. As early as 1882\, candy canes have been hung on Christmas trees. \n\n\n\nFun Candy Cane Facts: \n\n\n\n\nThe average candy cane is 5 inches tall.\n\n\n\nWhile most candy canes are not sugar or calorie-free\, they do not have any fat or cholesterol.\n\n\n\nStriped red and white candy canes were first introduced in 1900.\n\n\n\nThe first machine to make candy canes were invented in 1921 by Brasher O. Westerfield. Until then\, they were made by hand.\n\n\n\nBob McCormack and his brother-in-law & priest Gregory Keller brought the candy cane to the masses. What started out as candy-making for McCormack’s friends and family turned into mass production when Keller invented the machine that enabled Bob’s Candies to go big time.\n\n\n\nTraditionally the flavor for candy canes is peppermint\, but there are a variety of flavors.\n\n\n\nAlain Roby\, Geneva pastry chef\, holds the Guinness World Record for the longest candy cane\, measuring 51 feet long.

SUMMARY:Make Up Your Mind Day
DESCRIPTION:Each year\, Make Up Your Mind Day on December 31st encourages us to quit wavering\, to take a side\, and follow through with a decision and stick to it.   \n\n\n\n#MakeUpYourMindDay\n\n\n\nAs New Year’s resolutions go\, this may be the day to decide which ones to declare. The day may be used to determine other decisions as well. Career changes\, family decisions\, and large purchases often keep us from moving forward. We waver between multiple choices or sometimes a simple yes or no. While some life-altering decisions are made on a whim\, most people deliberate and weigh the pros and cons before making these types of decisions.  \n\n\n\nHOW TO OBSERVE MAKE UP YOUR MIND DAY\n\n\n\nIf a decision has you hesitating\, make a decision. This day is the incentive to make a choice. Draw up a list of pros and cons to help you decide. Too many choices? Pare them down by ranking them. Use #MakeUpYourMindDay to post on social media. \n\n\n\nMAKE UP YOUR MIND DAY HISTORY\n\n\n\nNational Day Calendar continues researching the origins of this day. As we do\, we’re trying to make up our minds about whether to celebrate early in the day or wait. We’ll make our decision before midnight. \n\n\n\nMake Up Your Mind FAQ \n\n\n\nQ. How does a list of pros and cons work?A. A list of pros and cons helps you make a decision between two options. For example\, a pros and cons list for deciding whether or not to Celebrate Every Day may look like this: Q. How do I use a flowchart to make a decision?A. Flowcharts work as a guide to help you make decisions. They come in handy when there are multiple options to choose from.
