Though we think of November, and December as months 11 and 12, these months were 9 and 10 on the ancient Roman calendar. This is how they got their names. November: November’s name comes from novem, Latin for “nine.” December: December’s name come from decem, Latin for “ten.”
ASIDE FROM THANKSGIVING, THESE EVENTS ARE CELEBRATED AND RECOGNIZED IN THE MONTH OF NOVEMBER. Aviation History, National Adoption Awareness, National Diabetes Awareness, National Novel Writing, Native American Heritage, and Peanut Butter Lovers! Below are special days of recognition: 4 King Tut Day ... see page 17! WHY TURKEYS? Willliam Bradford wrote of how the colonists had hunted wild turkeys during the autumn of 1621. Since turkey is a uniquely American (and scrumptious) bird, it gained traction as the Thanksgiving meal of choice for Americans after Lincoln declared Thanksgiving a national holiday in 1863. By the beginning of the 20th century, the Pilgrims and the Thanksgiving holiday were used to teach children about American freedom and how to be good citizens.
