December Calendar “Celebrations.”

Posted on Updated on

As with my November list of “celebrations” the last month of the year is filled with many notable – and not so notable – events, some obvious – some not so obvious:

  • Dec. 1:  AIDS Awareness Day; Rosa Parks Day, Playboy Magazine first published (had to add something for everyone)
  • Dec. 3: International Day of Disabled Persons
  • Dec. 5:  Volunteer Day
  • Dec. 7:  Pearl Harbor Day – Remembrance Day
  • Dec. 8: Hanukkah begins – through the 16th
  • Dec. 10: Human Rights Day (UN) – adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights
  • Dec. 11: United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) established
  • Dec. 12: Bonza Bottler Day – an excuse to celebrate when the date and the monthly number are the same
  • Dec. 13: Ice Cream and Violins Day – why the heck not?
  • Dec. 14: NASCAR founded (1947); I had to add this one for my husband
  • Dec. 15: Bill of Rights Day (US)
  • Dec. 18: 13th Amendment (US) ratified abolishing slavery
  • Dec. 21: Winter Solstice
  • Dec. 24: Eggnog Day; Remember to Read the Instructions Night (seems appropriate as parents everywhere set up bicycles, toys, etc.)
  • Dec. 25: Christmas Day
  • Dec. 26: Boxing Day (Canada, UK); First Day of Kwanzaa
  • Dec. 27: Howy Doody television show premieres on NBC – only Baby Boomers would know this one
  • Dec. 28: First American test tube baby born (1981)
  • Dec. 30: The Wonderful World of Disney television series is cancelled (1980) – again, a Baby Boomers staple way back when
  • Dec. 31:  New Years Eve – marking the end of one miserable year and the start of a better year; also, the Official end of WWII (1946).
