National Bouillabaisse Day A bouillabaisse is a fish stew or soup dish, which originally came from France as the name might suggest. The meal appears to have its origins in the port city of Marseilles, and traditionally it was made using rockfish and fennel seeds. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/bouillabaisse-day/Monkey Day Monkeys are interesting creatures cute, mischievous, and sometimes downright obnoxious (anyone who disagrees has obviously never had their laundry torn down by a family of primates when its hanging to dry). Many species of primates are also endangered, and then there are questions of animal rights and the usage of primates in medical research. Thats why theres Monkey Day, a day thats been dedicated to raising awareness about non-human primates. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/monkey-day/
Roast Chestnut Day In the chill of December, theres one warming treat that is especially popular across the world to keep the cold away. Roasted chestnuts are often seen this time of year being cooked by street vendors, and the earthy, spicy scent is more than enough to get anyone into the Christmas spirit. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/roast-chestnuts-day/

My close friend from college is named Jeff and the Christmas lyrics that put fear into him is the song that begins, "Jeff's nuts roasting on an open fire."
