November Holidays You've Never Celebrated Before

This is a listing of actual holidays, believe it or not. Several web sites even offer electronic cards for you to send to friends and relatives to help celebrate !

November 1 - Bra Day

Whatever you do, don't burn your bra today! This holiday commemorates the date that Mary Jacob invented the first modern brassiere circa 1913 in New York.

November 2 - Practice Being Psychic Day

Today is "Practice Being Psychic" Day, and I am reading your mind right now. You are thinking "Why would anyone think up such a silly celebration?" I'm pretty good, don't you think?

November 3 - Sandwich Day

Happy Sandwich Day! This holiday celebrates the emergence of the sandwich, popularized in 1762 by the 4th Earl of Sandwich, John Montague, an 18^th century English aristocrat.

November 4 - Bad Mood Day

On this day, I suppose it is permissible to be in a bad mood for a 24 hour period. Celebrate this holiday at your own risk!

November 5 - National Doughnut Day

Today's celebration calls for a trip to your local doughnut shop! Have doughnuts for breakfast, or take a few dozen to the office with you to share with your co-workers! Even the weight-conscious will want to participate in this holiday!

November 6^th - Peanut Butter Lovers Day

I imagine this was one of Elvis Presley's favorite holidays! Bake some peanut butter cookies and share them with a neighbor today! Don't make the mistake of including your dog in this celebration, though. They get confused when the peanut butter sticks to the roof of their mouth. Try a peanut butter flavored dog biscuit, instead.

November 7^th - Bittersweet Chocolate with Almonds Day

National Bittersweet Chocolate with Almonds Day is a day you can indulge in a sweet treat without guilt. Dark chocolate is good for you, you know.

November 8^th - X-Ray Discovery Day

Happy X-ray Day! (I see you... all of you! Nice undies!) On this day in 1895 Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen discovered the medical marvel of St. Aedh Mac Breic, the patron saint of headache sufferers.

November 11^th - Ones Day
