15 Holidays in November You've Probably Never Heard Of
LifeStyle Blog

As I sit here writing this Thanksgiving Day is currently nine days away. Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. It also happens to be one of the most overlooked holidays. However, Turkey Day isn't the only overlooked holiday in November. So, here's a list of 15 other days in November that you've probably never heard of.

1. Cooke Monster's Birthday: November 2nd

Who wouldn't want to celebrate Cookie Monster's birthday?

2. Sandwich Day: November 3rd

People who don't celebrate sandwich day can't be trusted!

3. National Candy Day: November 4th

For me, every day is National Candy Day!

4. Doughnut Day: November 5th

Doughnut day is another holiday that should be celebrated on a daily basis.

5. Basketball Day: November 6th

So, this is an unofficial day but in 1861 on November 6th the man who invented basketball was born (it totally counts as a holiday).

6. USA Election Day: November 8th

So, this isn't actually a holiday but it only comes around every four years and it's a pretty big deal!

7. Veterans Day: November 11th

This is probably one of the few official holidays on this list.

8. National Button Day: November 16th

Fun fact about me: I LOVE BUTTONS! (I don't know why). The fact that there's such a fantastic holiday only four days before my birthday is AMAZING!

9. Take a Hike Day: November 17th

Hiking is fun... if you like exercise.

10. My Birthday: November 20th

This should definitely be an official holiday!

11. Stop the Violence Day: November 22nd

Also not an actual holiday, but it's definitely an important day in November.

12. National Cashew Day: November 23rd

My favorite nut has it's own holiday!

13. Turkey Day: November 24th

An entire day devoted to family and food; I don't know what more I could ask for.

14. National Cake Day: November 26th

Cake is delicious and I'll use any excuse I can find to eat cake.

15. Square Dance Day: November 29th

I have no idea how to square dance but maybe I'll figure it out before the 29th!

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
