Roast Chestnuts Day

Celebrated on the 14th of December, this food holiday marks the holiday tradition of roasting chestnuts on an open fire.

At almost any hour of the day this time of year, someone is listening to Nat King Cole's 1946 "The Christmas Song" with the lyrics

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire

Jack Frost nipping at your nose

Yuletide carols being sung by the choir

And folks dressed up like Eskimos
