They say that an apple a day keeps the doctors away. Today, we celebrate another fun internet holiday – Eat a Red Apple Day. The idea is to eat a healthy snack today to offset the sheer abundance of cookies, candies, and other foods we typically indulge in during the holiday season. Yeah, a sweet fruit might not be the best option, but according to the saying, it must be healthy, right?

Johnny Appleseed, born John Chapman, is an American folk hero. During his lifetime, he championed natural conservation, and introduced apple trees across much of the northern United States. Interestingly, this is one of two holidays celebrating Johnny – the other is in September. Naturally, this is a great reason to play another Apple Tree puzzle! Draw lines to connect all apples in the tree with the trunk.
