More than National Fruit Cake Month

December includes some of the most treasured holidays of the year, including Christmas, Kwanzaa and Hanukkah.

It’s a time to remember Pearl Harbor Day. The first week is also National Handwashing Awareness Week.

I’m not certain where you stand on these other observations, but I wish two stayed with us all year. Read a New Book Month should be something we all do every month of the year. Who reads anymore?  December is also Human Rights Month. But shouldn’t every month honor human rights?

The last two observances for the month of December are Calendar Awareness and National Fruitcake months.
