Saint Pancake Day

5

With Thanksgiving just around the corner, it’s easy to forget the equally important Dutch Holiday, Saint Pancake Day.

Saint Pancake Day is always celebrated the 29th of November and is the unofficial Dutch start to the Christmas season.

How to celebrate St. Pancake Day? The traditional celebration involves gathering with friends and family and cooking crepes. One each of the crepes is to end up on the head of everyone in attendence for photographing and posting to social media.

This will be my first year celebrating, but this has to be a holiday that catches on in the US too… It’s too good a holiday to not be celebrated.
