December is here! That means holidays like Hanukkah (Dec. 18-26), Christmas (Dec. 25), and Kwanzaa (Dec. 26-Jan. 1), along with the first day of winter and New Year's Eve are on the way ... but there's so much more happening this month!
We might just be hungry today, but we decided it was a great time to recognize five of the foodie holidays celebrated in December ... and also highlight the local Southern Maryland businesses that make these foods best:

4. Maple Syrup Day
I mean, did you need an excuse to take the kids out for pancakes? If so, this is it! Our favorite breakfast spots for pancakes in Lusby? Frying Pan has been delighting Southern Maryland with their incredibly tasty breakfasts for as long as I can remember. Once you're there? Drench those pancakes in maple syrup and enjoy. Dec. 17

5. Hamburger Day
Is there anything better than a bacon cheeseburger at Five Guys? We certainly don't think so! National Hamburger Day is the perfect excuse to take off from a night of cooking and treat the family to dinner out at Five Guys in California. Yum. Never mind that there seems to be a few Hamburger Days throughout the year ... we choose to celebrate them all! Dec. 21
