Thankfully, it’s not hard to remember the big holidays in November – Remembrance Day (Veterans Day) and Thanksgiving in the U.S.
In 2011, those special holidays occur on the following dates in 2011.
- November 11 – Veterans Day (U.S.) Remembrance Day (UK, Canada)
- November 24 – Thanksgiving (U.S.)
But did you also know that it’s National Aviation month? As a former air traffic controller with many pilot friends, that’s a biggy in my books!
Here are the celebrations by Month:
- Aviation History Month
- Child Safety Protection Month
- International Drum Month
- National Adoption Awareness Month
- National Epilepsy Month
- National Model Railroad Month
- National Novel Writing Month
- National Sleep Comfort Month
- Native American Heritage Month

And as usual, there are all sorts of eclectic and wonderful days to celebrate throughout the month of November among which Black Friday and Cyber Monday will always have a special place in my affiliate heart. ♥

What’s up with the picture of the poppy? The red remembrance poppy is an emblem of Remembrance Day due to the poem In Flanders Fields. These poppies bloomed across some of the worst battlefields of Flanders in World War I, their brilliant red colour an appropriate symbol for the blood spilt in the war.
About Rosalind Gardner
Great to have These lists every Month, ros! Thank you!
You’re welcome Monja.. they’re fun to do!
Hey, Rosalind, thanks for that comprehensive list. Of course, we can not only relate these themes to affiliate products, we can use them as inspiration for writing articles or posts. (By the way, do you have a “one-stop-shop” source for what days throughout the year are dedicated to?)
Hi Eric,
You’re welcome and my pleasure. But sorry, no ‘one-stop shop’. I’ll try to maintain this lists and then create a single post that links to each month… just for you!
Cheers,
Ros
Ros…just scanning the lists above and realizing the vast marketing potential lurking about has got me plum wore out! So much to do, so little time. Many thanks!
All the best,
Jon
Hi Jon,
Better too many ideas than too few.
Cheers,
Ros
Thanx for the list, Ros, I never knew until now that I was born on “Have a Bad Day Day”. This explains many things that puzzled me over the years, i.e. why my Mother made me the poster child in her campaign for retroactive abortion, (among others…).
Yep…’splains much…*rolls eyes* LOL!
Love ya, Ros, take good care!
Ah Griff, you sweet thing you… we’re just thrilled that you kept on keeping on!
Love ya too… be well!
Ros
“Have A Bad Day Day”? Good grief, who thought that one up? Think I’ll pass on that one.
On the other hand, I am ahead of myself with “Eat A Cranberry Day”… I’m discovering they’re not too bad if you just eat one at a time with a bite of a food that is sweeter.
