Your guide to celebrating December 6 2018
Skip to all 8 daysBefore heading out on December 6, look down. Put On Your Own Shoes Day starts this ground-up adventure with the most practical first step: getting your sneakers on your feet. Young learners can practice the loop-swoop-pull method, while experienced lace-tyers get the rare satisfaction of beginning a celebration with a task already completed.
Once the laces are tied, National Miners’ Day turns your attention to what lies beneath those shoes. Start with a quick inventory of the minerals in everyday life. Your phone, car, cookware and stove all connect the comforts close at hand with people doing demanding work far below the surface.
National Miners’ Day
Digging deep, they unearth treasures from the belly of the earth, a relentless pursuit of resources that fuels progress and innovation.
For a closer look, visit a local mine or mining heritage site and learn where those materials come from and what extracting them involves. Pay attention to the workers as well as the minerals. Their skill and labor are the reason for the day.
After exploring what comes from underground, make lunch from what grows above it. National Gazpacho Day puts ripe tomatoes, peppers and garlic to delicious use in a Spanish-style chilled soup. It is colorful, refreshing and conveniently suited to anyone whose field trip has worked up an appetite.

Set down the empty bowl, kick off those expertly tied shoes and take one more look at that phone. Shoes, minerals and soup make a surprisingly satisfying trail through December 6.
