Good evening, welcome to our series sharing Unique Holidays: December 18th, 2021. Take a look at the Holidays being celebrated today and let me know which Holiday you most want to celebrate and why. Charlie and I want to bake Cookies to celebrate today. Would you like to join us in baking Cookies?
Bake Cookies Day– always held on December 18th.
‘Ya gotta just love Bake Cookies Day………
….. Christmas is for Christians
….. Hanukkah is just for Jews
…. Ramadan is for those of Islamic descent
….. Kwanzaa is for those of African origin
….. Native American Day is for American Indians
Bake Cookies Day is for EVERYONE!
Bake Cookies Day comes at an opportune time because it arrives during major December Holidays. Bake Cookies Day serves as a reminder to bake Holiday cookies, if you haven’t already baked Holiday Cookies.
People, young and old, celebrate this Holiday by baking their favorite Cookies. Make a party of the Holiday and bake Cookies in groups with family. Don’t stop at baking just one kind of Cookie but plan to bake a variety of Cookies. Try a new recipe.
If you bake more than you can eat, good for you! Wrap up gift trays filled with Cookies for your neighbors. Or you could freeze the Cookies.
We are very surprised that Bake Cookies Day is not immediately followed by “Eat Cookies Day” and we did not even find an Eat Cookies Day. So you can, and should, eat Cookies every day!
National Roast Suckling Pig Day– always on December 18th.
Who would have ever thought we’d be celebrating a Pig of any kind or for any reason? And, not just any Pig, specifically a Suckling Pig.
National Suckling Pig Day is a mid-December Holiday to enjoy and remember. While everyone is running around, preparing for the Holidays, and mom or grandma is busy in the kitchen. She has taken a break from the hubbub to cook a fancy meal a Roasted Suckling Pig.
In case you didn’t know. A”Suckling Pig”, also called “Sucking Pig”, is a young Piglet that has not yet been weaned from its mother.
If you are too busy to roast a Pig today, take a well-deserved break and go out to a local restaurant and order a Roasted Suckling Pig dinner.
History and Origin of National Suckling Pig Day:
We found no factual information on National Suckling Pig Day and we speculate that a family or corporate holiday party just in advance of Christmas, was the origin of this Holiday.
There was some reference to this as a “National Day”. This author cannot imagine Congress authorizing National Suckling Pig Day as a National Holiday. Most food related Holidays are called “National”. However, we found no Congressional records or presidential proclamation.
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
