All our holidays are validated with sponsors or organizations.
We do not have holidays for every single day of the year. Sites that do, IMHO are making days up. Beware!
Also, some observances that are validated through website links, can't be updated until their websites update their 2008 information.

Visiting us is free! Our Holiday information is free. We have always paid all costs and remained ad free as well.

October 08 Moon Phases	7 First Qtr. 5:04 am EST	14 Full Moon Hunters Moon 4:02 am EST
	21 Last Qtr. 7:55 am EST	28 New Moon 7:14 pm EST

Full Moon on the 14h is called "Hunter's Moon" by Native Americans of New England and the Great Lakes because at this time of the year the deer are fattened and it's time to hunt (as well as many other animals.) Since all the crops are harvested, it's now time to gather food by hunting animals.
