December 4, 2012: The timing on National Cookie Day is perfect — early December is when a lot of people start working on their holiday cookie-based gifts for the winter. I suppose the timing is also good for National Dice Day, because it falls between the family-gathering holidays of Thanksgiving and Christmas. And what better time to play dice games than when you’re stuck with family, the stores are all closed, and all that’s airing on TV is a marathon of Storage Wars reruns? Grab the Yahtzee, pull out the graph paper for Dungeons & Dragons, and if it’s Monopoly time, I’m totally playing the boot.
