What is November

Most of us should know that the fourth Thursday, is called a Thanksgiving Day celebration. The first Tuesday after the first Monday, we elect the leaders of our nation. Maybe you even know the first Sunday, is when Daylight Savings comes to an end. But did you know on November the first, National Pomegranate Month begins. Also, Native Heritage and Military Family Month, Epilepsy, Alzheimer’s, and COPD awareness. How about NAN-O-WRI-MO or Pancreatic Cancer too, we’ll throw in No Shave November just for fairness. The first Wednesday is Eating Healthy Day, the first Thursday is Man Makes Dinner. The first Friday is Samoan Arbor Day, and of course, Black Friday is always a winner. Who can forget World Vegan Day, or Coronation Day of the fifth Druk in Bhutan. It’s Liberty Day in the Virgin Islands, Self-Defense Forces Commemoration in Japan. It is Veterans Day on the eleventh, Pneumonia Day on the twelve. Parfait day on the twenty-fifth, if you don’t care about your health. I could just go on and on listing them, but just between me and you. We’d still be here reading next November, and we probably still would not be through.

Wow! Jerry...and the only one I celebrated was the "No Shave November" one...and I didn't even realize I was doing it. This is a thoroughly delightful...and somewhat informative...piece. Kudos.

Oh my...wasn't aware of all the special days within November. I learned a lot reading your poem. Parfait day on the 25th appeals to me, especially one with chocolate! smiles ~ I took great delight in reading your poem. Enjoy your evening & Thanksgiving, Sara

I think it should be celebrated at least once every month. Perhaps we could even change the name of one of the week days, I mean why should sundaes be the only one to get its own day.
