Green Monday is the second Monday in December and historically one of the busiest online shopping days of the year — the name was coined by eBay in 2007 to describe the sharp uptick in online sales as holiday shoppers realized they were running out of time. Monkey Day was created in 2000 by art student Casey Sorrow and his friend Eric Millikin at Michigan State University to celebrate monkeys — and by extension all non-human primates — whose closest relatives to humans (chimpanzees) share 98.7 percent of human DNA. National Bouillabaisse Day celebrates the Provençal fish stew whose authenticity is so contested that the city of Marseille established the Bouillabaisse Charter in 1980, specifying the exact species of fish, the saffron ratio, and the serving protocol — rouille on bread first, then the broth, then the fish. Free Shipping Day was established to encourage online retailers to offer free shipping with guaranteed Christmas delivery, typically in mid-December.
