If you ask a group of people to name a November holiday, most of them would probably say Thanksgiving. However, it is not the only holiday that happens during the eleventh month of the year. Here are some more November holidays.
National Men Make Dinner Day
Date: the first Thursday of November
This special holiday tests the cooking skills of men who don’t spend a lot of time in the kitchen. In the evening, the man of the house needs to prepare dinner for others. The man also needs to buy all of the ingredients (原材料) by himself and does the dishes at the end of the meal.
World Kindness Day
Date: November thirteenth
World Kindness Day began in 1997. People can perform kind acts such as giving hugs (拥抱), showing honor (敬意), or writing loving notes to friends and family members. These actions can bring smiles to people’s faces.
I Love to Write Day
Date: November fifteenth
I Love to Write Day was started by John Riddle. Riddle’s goal was to encourage people of all ages to start writing. People just need to sit down and express their ideas. They can record anything—a poem, a traveling diary, or a short story.
World Hello Day
Date: November twenty-first
World Hello Day was created by two brothers in 1973. They believed that communication was important to achieve (实现) peace, and the easiest way to communicate is to say hello. Though “hello” is just one word, it shows the other person that you are friendly and open. To take part in World Hello Day, just say hello to 10 people. It will bring happiness to others and make you feel better as well.
