December 4 is Wear Brown Shoes Day.  For those who are a little indecisive, December 4 really steps in to save the day.  No guesswork to it – just put on your brown shoes, baby.

December 5 is National Sacher Torte Day.  I was so sure this was going to be about some brave man or woman who beat the odds and did something amazing, but nope.  Sacher Torte is a cake.  Just a cake.  I think the people in charge of creating days must be foodies, because we sure do have a lot of food days.

December 6 is National Gazpacho Day.  See what I mean?  Get fat on tortes Monday, and chase them down with a nice hearty soup on Tuesday. 

December 7 is National Cotton Candy Day.  I think I’ve gained 10 pounds just writing this post.  Cotton candy day really should have been during the summer, when people actually have access to it.  But I agree – cotton candy is deserving of its own day.

December 8 is Take It In The Ear Day.  From what I can gather, this day is meant to be a day of listening, so even if you get hollered at, just take it in the ear, man.

December 9 is National Pastry Day. Oh holy cow.  It’s no wonder people have to start weight loss resolutions in January!  I am totally down for a pastry day though.  Maybe I can eat enough Gazpacho the rest of the week to make up for the pastries.

December 10 is Festival For The Souls Of Dead Whales.  Because no whale should ever be forgotten.
