December is such a jolly time of year that it seems like every day of the month should be a holiday… and that's practically true. For instance, December 8 is National Take It in the Ear Day. What does that mean? What are we supposed to celebrate? Well, your guess is as good as ours, but exploring fun and quirky national holidays is always a great way to add excitement to the winter season.
