What seasonal festivities do you have in November where you are?

Hi All

In the UK we have Guy Fawkes Night tomorrow, with lots of fireworks, commemorating the Gunpowder Plot here and Guy Fawke's failure to blow up Parliament.

What traditions do you guys have where you are?

Cheers

In India we have Diwali coming up and I'm procrastinating about drawing a comic for it.
Also all souls day just passed by ^-^

Aside from the traditional Thanksgiving gorging, November starts the charity drive season where I live. My company (pre-COVID) would have a company-wide food drive and we'd take truckloads of food to our local food pantry. Smaller church groups in my area also make blankets to donate to the local hospital and care centers. It's a really great time to kick off the giving season.

I've heard a lot about Diwali but don't really know anything about it - what's the background? Is there anything that you particularly eat or drink to celebrate it? For Guy Fawkes we (at least our family) like to have burgers / hot dogs and hot drinks when standing outside watching the fireworks. Sometimes hot soup too.

I’m in the UK too so bonfire night, toffee/chocolate apples, Parkin and bonfire toffee. I used to live in Yorkshire but now on the South Coast and they go nuts with the bonfires and fireworks here. They have special societies and like to blow things up. I don’t think it’ll happen this year sadly.

Here are some pics of the Sussex bonfires. They really go all out. Love the pirates and steam punk groups.

From the UK too! So Bonfire Night (Guy Fawkes day) tomorrow and Remembrance Day. I tend to watch fireworks from my bedroom window, I let my neighbours handle all the trouble haha

[MaeRose]

just good ol thanksgiving

might be the first year without a big meal but well see how things roll throughout the weeks

[PapaDom]

We have All Saint's Day on the 1st (The same day I have my birthday),
St. Martin's Day on the 11th, Memorial Day on the 15th,
Day of Prayer and Repentance on the 18th and Dead Sunday on the 22nd.
But November 1st is the most important day for me because everything is closed. : P

All Saints Day and Souls day. Other than that, I don't think we have any more (maybe Bonifacio Day but it's not really like the other two)! We do prepare very early for Christmas though, starting on September LOL

I am an happy Indian, and yes, we do celebrate Diwali in our country...
It is basically like a festival of lights.
We decorate our houses with lamps and candles and on the previous night, we create a bonfire...

We even pray to our gods and goddesses. It is actually celebrated as in our myths and legends of our holy books, it is an auspicious day as Ram (an avatar of krishna) returns back to his kingdom after 14 years of his exile in the forest after killing the tyrant ruler, Ravana.

The best and the worst part is people burst firecrackers as though their is no tomorrow (but I never created such pollution, nor do I approve of it...)

We have two things. November 11th - remembrance day (For the freedom fighters). November 18th - Latvia's independance.
On the 11th is the bonfire walk. School kids hold candles and walk together. (Doubt that will happen this year) On the 18th we just watch fireworks and eat some tasty things.

[AmazementComics]

Thanksgiving and Black Friday are always November events I always look forward to in the U.S.
