Roast Chestnuts Day
What is Roast Chestnuts Day? Well, Roast Chestnuts Day is a day set aside to enjoy roast chestnuts! It originated in 2015 so it’s a brand new holiday. The holiday was started because so many people have never even tasted a chestnut even though they heard of “chestnuts roasting over an open fire..”
What is a chestnut you ask? Well, a chestnut is a tree! It’s actually a group of deciduous trees native to the Northern Hemisphere which produce edible nuts also called chestnuts. The nuts are what are roasted “over an open fire” and then eaten.
