It’s a new year, and that means it’s time to start planning your 2020 calendar. After this episode of The List Show, you’ll want to pencil in time to throw roasted soybeans at your uncle, take in the wonders of carved radishes, and recognize the majesty of the farm-raised catfish. Erin (@erincmccarthy) explains those holidays and more as she breaks down 18 Weird & Wonderful Holidays To Celebrate in The New Year, just in time for New Year's Day.
Fans of Tom Hanks and/or Baron Friedrich von Steuben will want to watch. You’ll learn about a holiday for single people and about a monkey buffet you can witness in the new year. Some of these weird holidays are just unfamiliar to modern Americans, and others feature traditions that are truly strange.
