It’s time for another set of holidays of the year. I actually kind of forgot that I totally didn’t do a list for October until a couple of days ago, so I just decided to forget about it. Now, November is National Novel Writing Month. I have participated in this for a couple of years now. I have not actually won, but I have a good time just trying to get things done. And now, one with the holidays. If a national holiday does not have a country associated with it, assume it’s America.
