Falling Needles Family Fest is a special day that is celebrated on December 30 every year. This day reminds us to clean up Christmas trees and recycle them instead of letting them rot away. Christmas is a pretty important celebration, so naturally, everyone pulls out all the stops. Live Christmas trees are usually the centerpiece of the decorations in a lot of people’s houses. So what happens to the tree after Christmas is over? Lights and tinsel can go into storage until the next year, but real trees will need to be disposed of safely. The best way to clean up your live tree is to make sure it gets recycled.
Tick Tock Day
Tick Tock Day is celebrated on December 29 every year. This day serves as a reminder that the year is coming to an end, so get around to finishing pending tasks on your to-do list! With the holiday season beginning in November, it is only natural that life becomes super busy and a lot of work gets pushed aside for later. Maybe you’ve wanted to clean up your home, or you’ve got to figure out your plans for New Year’s Day. Whatever the task, Tick Tock Day is a reminder that there are only two more days left of the year and you’d better get around to finishing the tasks you need to.
Pepper Pot Day
Pepper Pot Day is celebrated every year on December 29. It is meant to celebrate a soup that was nicknamed ‘The Soup That Won The War.’ The war here refers to the American Revolutionary War for independence from Britain. The Philadelphia Pepper Pot soup is a thick soup made up of beef tripe, whatever vegetables are available, and of course, peppercorns. This peppery soup has a long history and probably originates from the Caribbean. It was brought over to America by enslaved people, who later sold the soup out in the streets.
