POPCORN: It’s not just a tasty snack.

According to The Popcorn Board, at popcorn.org, Dec. 13 is National Popcorn String Day.

“In the late 1800s, popcorn was a fascinating treat (not a lot of streaming options back then), thus it became increasingly popular around holidays like Christmas. Victorian revelers would use popcorn to spruce up their mantelpieces, doorways and evergreens; ornaments were created using popcorn balls, a popular sweet that was cheap to make. Today, popcorn is still used for decoration and gift giving.”

For anyone who isn’t sure how to do it, the Popcorn Board offers directions on How to String Popcorn:

The website has lots of other holiday ideas for edible treats, like holiday wreaths, chocolate popcorn reindeer and more.

It’s a neat website, with recipes, games for children, the story of popcorn and even learning tools and worksheets.
