November


November is the eleventh month of the year in the Gregorian Calendar, with
30 days. From the Latin novem for "nine" (it was originally the ninth month
of the year, before January and February were inserted).

Events in November:

   * All Saint's Day a Christian holiday. Observance is on November 1, the
     day after Halloween. In Sweden the All Saints official holiday takes
     place on the first Saturday of November.
   * American Federal elections are held on the Tuesday after the first
     Monday of November in even-numbered years. They therefore fall between
