Neat November Holidays

Nov 01, 2022

Oh, November. It’s one month that’s got a bit of a bad – or boring – rap. Falling smack-dab in-between Halloween and Christmas, it’s easy to forget that a lot of important holidays happen in the month of November. Here are some of our favorite days to celebrate this month – from important days set aside to remember heroic soldiers to yummy days like National Cake Day and everything in-between.
