Wacky Holidays in November. While we all enjoy our traditional holidays (like Thanksgiving) in the month of November, there are some really strange and wacky holidays held in this month.<\/p>\n
November 3rd, or the first Saturday in November, is \u201cSadie Hawkins Day\u201d and this is when girls can ask the guys out! Dinner, dancing, a movie, or whatever, this is a day where girls are in charge. This tradition started with the cartoon strip, \u201cLi\u2019l Abner\u201d, in the late 1930s. In the strip, Pa was\u00a0worried that his daughter would never get married, so he organized a race where a girl could catch an unmarried man and could claim him for a husband! This day has evolved into some good-natured foolishness and everyone can have some fun. Some schools and universities even organize a Sadie Hawkins dance where the girls can ask the guys to dance.<\/p>\n
November 6th is National Saxophone Day. Adolphe Sax invented the saxophone in 1846. Brass on the outside, woodwind on the inside, the saxophone has become a symbol of Jazz around the world.<\/p>\n
November 7th is known as National Tongue Twister Day. If you have impressive lingual abilities, this day is for you! Originally published in 1899, try saying these words a fast five times!<\/p>\n
\u2022 Betty Botta bought a bit of butter (you just tried to say this fast, didn\u2019t you? Yep! I did!)<\/p>\n November 29th is National Square Dance Day! While this holiday is thought to be made up by Cowboys and country folks, it originated in Europe back in the 17th century. But it has since been claimed by the USA as the cultural leader, as 19 States have claimed it as their State official dance! So, grab your dancing boots and partner then head for the local barn dance to have some fun and just maybe get some straw in your hair! \u201cSwing your partner round and round\u201d!<\/p>\n Other funny days to celebrate in November? Try these; Clean Your Refrigerator Day, Button Day, National Fast Food Day, Homemade Bread Day, Dunce Day, Men Make Dinner Day, Deviled Egg Day, Sandwich Day, King Tut Day, Buy Nothing Day, French Toast Day, and many others!<\/p>\n So, pick a day and have some fun!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Wacky Holidays in November.
