Some of these other holidays are honoring an occupation or group of people. For instance, All Saints Day is celebrated to honor all of the saints of the church. Other observances are for disease awareness, such as Diabetic Eye Disease Month. And many of the rest are more offbeat and random like National Mason Jar Day or National Cook For Your Pets Day. Besides the daily observances, there are also some observances that are celebrated either for a full week or an entire month. For instance, the National Hunger And Homeless Awareness Week occurs the entire week before Thanksgiving—the perfect timing to help us gain perspective and give back. Since there are so many special days to consider for the month of November, we’ve put together a whole list of November Holidays and Observances for 2022 so that you can be in the know. Maybe you’ll want to celebrate a few that you hadn’t known about before.
Who Comes Up With National Days and Observances?
While some holidays hold historic significance, there are so many random national days each year that you have to wonder who comes up with these and who is ultimately in charge of the list? If you love waffles and peanut butter, can you just call it out as a national day? It is in fact almost as easy as that! A company or person can declare a day and it can take off on social media. However, if someone wants their idea to be listed in Chase’s Yearly Calendar Of Events, it must be approved by Chase. They look for things that will interest almost everyone and accept just a small amount of days from the thousands of submissions. Some of the National Days for November may excite you—like National Donut Day or National Candy Day. Those are easy to celebrate. Both others, like the National Clean Out Your Refrigerator Day may pass by without a second thought. Whoever came up with that one must have needed a reminder to do it in a big way!
