December is a great time for spending time with family, counting our blessings and honoring heritage with Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa and National Roots Day. And, there’s lots to do, celebrate, eat, drink and enjoy including Write to a Friend Month, Go Caroling Day, Make a Gift Day, shopping, cooking, baking, Rosa Parks Day, U.S. National Guard Birthday, Bake Cookies Day, Comfort Food Day, Gingerbread House Day, French Fried Shrimp Day, Egg Nog Month, Peppermint Latte Day, Ugly Christmas Sweater Day, New Year’s Eve, and setting goals for the coming year and your next family reunion.

With so much to celebrate in December there’s no wonder it’s also National Impaired Driving Prevention Month. So let’s all be safe. Don’t Drink and Drive. Don’t Drug and Drive. Don’t Text and Drive. And don’t let your friends. Have a great holiday season and we’ll see you in 2025.
