All
our holidays are validated with sponsors or organizations; or, we
validate the source or origin for an observance to prove it's not made
up. All
of my holiday and observances lists as a whole group are not

Full Moon on the 28th is called "Beaver Moon" by Native Americans of New England and the Great Lakes because at this time of the year those little beavers are industriously preparing for winter.
On November 13th, there will be a total eclipse of the sun that will be visible in Australia, New Zealand, the Southern Pacific, and southern part of South America. We won't see it in the US.
And, on November 28, there'll be a penumbral eclipse of the moon visible in North America as well as Europe, Eastern Africa, Asia, Australia, and the Pacific Ocean area.
