November 2023 Holidays
Bizarre, Crazy, Silly, Unknown Holidays & Observances
November comes from the Latin word
novem, "nine," because this had been the ninth month in the early
Roman calendar.
(Note: Although it's our eleventh month, the name never
got changed.)
Stone = Yellow Topaz
Flower = Chrysanthemum
How Holidays Begin and How
to Start One.
Rules for Use:
All our holidays are validated with sponsors, organizations, proclamations,
history; or, we validate the source or origin for an observance to prove
it's not made up.
I do not respect other holiday sites that steal my
information and put it on a site wanting to make money from ads or charging
to even validate a holiday.
I'll add holidays for free if they are coming
from a valid source and not obscene, hateful, etc..
My holidays as a
daily, weekly, monthly and total composite are copyrighted via this domain and
are not to be taken and put on another website, blog, or made into a downloadable
application, etc.. Doing so is a violation of the DMCA.
I invite you to use my holiday pages for personal
use, off-line use for clubs, newsletters, homemade calendars, etc..

Link
Link
(Always First Saturday.
This is what Chase's Calendar put and so I stuck with that formula for this
observance. But, a Sadie Hawkins Dance can be held anytime a school or
someone wants to have one.
Also, some call Leap Year Day - Feb. 29
as Sadie Hawkins Day also because tradition states that women can ask the men
to marry them on that day. To me, Leap Year Day is not Sadie Hawkins
Day and they are two separate observances. Asking a guy to a dance is different
than asking him to marry you.
Although...in the cartoon strip, once
the single gals caught their guys in the annual footrace, the men were forced
to marry the gal that caught them aka a shotgun wedding per se. ;) Hope
this helps to clarify things a bit.)
