Noteworthy November
November is filled with a bunch of fun holidays, from the iconic Thanksgiving, Veteran's Day and Day of the Dead to the extremely popular No Shave November or NaNoWriMo. Here are some of our favourites!
NaNoWriMo: National Novel Writing Month. A month-long celebration of creativity and writing, this is a daily challenge to write a certain number of words per day, resulting in a standard length novel by the end!
National Fun with Fondue Month: That's right, you no longer need an excuse. Go forth and celebrate gooey cheese and chocolate fountains. It's in honor of a holiday, after all.
Nov. 11-17, World Antibiotic Awareness Week: A whole week dedicated to educating about the proper use of and the consequences overuse and over-prescription. Spread some knowledge this week! But... try not to spread your germs in the process. ;)
11/6 National Nachos Day: It's not a Tuesday, so you don't have to worry about neglecting tacos to enjoy this tasty holiday!
11/11 National Sundae Day: It's a little disappointing that it doesn't fall on a Sunday this year, but that won't stop us from getting ice cream while the gettin' is good.
