Where did November come from?

Novem is the Latin word for 9. But wait, isn’t November the 11th month? Interestingly, before January and February were added to the calendar, November was the 9th month. Instead of changing November to Unidecimber (Latin for 11), they kept the name.

Giving thanks in November

In the US, November is perhaps best known for Thanksgiving. Since 1621, the fourth Thursday in November has served as a holiday to gather with friends and family and give thanks for the blessings in our lives and also eat the incredible food reaped from the fall harvest. That’s 400 years of turkeys!

The space dog takes flight

The first living creature in space was not a human, but a Russian dog named Laika. It all happened on November 3rd, 1957 when Russia launched Sputnik II into space with Laika on board. The sad part of the story is that the trip was one way.

Random November

Let’s finish off with a few cool November facts. Two of the most popular toys were first released in November, the board game Monopoly (1935) and the Easy-Bake Oven (1963).
