This list of November National Days is a day-by day look at the month to find out how to celebrate your favorite national day with food and drink ideas, and (especially this month) lots of holiday projects. 
November is the eleventh month of the year in our calendar. In the Northern Hemisphere, it marks the last month of the fall season, but in the Southern hemisphere it is associated with the end of spring.
This month marks the beginning of several of our favorite holidays – Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa and New Year’s Eve. The end of the month features Thanksgiving, but this is just the beginning of many special days to come.
The name of the month originated when the Roman lunar calendar was used, and the year started in March at harvest time. Then, November(novem) was considered the 9th month of the year.
All that changed in 46 B.C. when the new Julian calendar was used, making January the first month and November the eleventh month in the calendar.
November is National gratitude month, which is makes sense, since Thanksgiving is a day of gratitude. It is also National peanut butter lovers month, (I am a number one member!!) National Adopt a Senior Pet Month, and Sweet Potato Awareness month.
But don’t stop at just these activities, with all these fun and offbeat holidays, there is more than just a day of eating and gratitude to celebrate this month.
