Santa’s List Day is on December 4 every year. In a world of excessive list-making, this is the list that counts! It’s the day when Santa puts together his list of naughty or nice children. The ones on the nice list receive toys, candy, and other presents on Christmas Eve. The naughty children may find coal in their stockings or not much at all! But how can one man pull this off? He has help, of course. Santa’s trusty elves keep watch all year and make toys for nice children. Despite the two lists, Santa remains jolly and generous, in keeping with the season’s spirit. Still, being nice is always a good thing.
Global Fat Bike Day
Global Fat Bike Day has taken place on the first Saturday of December annually since 2012 — this year it falls on December 4. It’s a special day for fat bike enthusiasts who celebrate it the best way they know how — riding on their fat bikes! The day falls on a Saturday, mostly since it’s a popular day for riding and allows people to go on longer rides. But this isn’t set in stone, so you can choose to ride on Friday or even Sunday, depending on your commitments. You and your fat bike have the entire weekend! All this day asks of you is to find the time to ride.
Chester Greenwood (Earmuff) Day
Chester Greenwood Day, also known as Earmuff Day, falls on the first Saturday of December each year. This year, it’s on December 4. Yes, there’s a day for that! Every year, the town of Farmington in Maine celebrates its famous resident. Greenwood first designed the earmuff when he was 15. He came up with the idea so his ears wouldn’t catch frostbite while ice skating. With a little help from his grandmother, the first earmuffs were born — tufts of fur sewn between loops of wire! The rest is history.
