Your guide to celebrating December 14
Skip to all 12 daysA half-finished gift cart is no match for December 14. Start with Green Monday and finish those online orders before holiday delivery cutoffs start spoiling surprises. Keep your list focused, then add a homemade touch by baking cookies with green frosting. A green sweater makes a fitting uniform for the operation.
Once the confirmation emails land, warm up the kitchen for Roast Chestnuts Day. Score the shells, roast the chestnuts until their skins open, and peel them while they are warm. Set out a bowl for snacking as dinner comes together. The stubborn ones simply add a little suspense.

For the main event, National Bouillabaisse Day turns supper into something special. Build the stew around firm white fish, then add mussels or squid to a broth with tomato, orange peel and white wine. Keep crusty baguette close at hand to catch every last bit. If cooking a seafood stew feels too ambitious for a busy December 14, order it at a restaurant with rouille.

National Screwdriver Day supplies the citrus finish. Mix a cold Screwdriver with fresh orange juice and ice, and invite a few friends over for a simple cocktail party. You can even try flavored vodka or a homemade rosemary-and-strawberry infusion. Between the green cookies, crackly chestnut shells and orange-filled glasses, the gift list suddenly looks much less intimidating.
