On December 14th it’s time to show off your Christmas tree in honor of #DecorateYourTreeDay. If you’re feeling generous, why not use #GiftCardGivingDay on December 20th to give to a friend? Finally, end the year with a bang by wishing everyone happy holidays with #MerryChristmasDay or #HappyNewYearsEve. Keep reading to check out the month’s full list!
