Today is..NATIONAL EAT A RED APPLE DAY

On December 1st, National Eat a Red Apple Day encourages everyone to eat a red apple. As the adage goes, "an apple a day keeps the doctor away," and today is a perfect time to put that theory to taste. #EatARedAppleDay

An apple is both delicious and nutritious. With over 7,500 varieties of apples and over 7.5% of the world's production coming from the USA, apples are widely available.

Welcoming Ritual:   If you could go anywhere on vacation with your family, where would you go?
