October 31st – Halloween (UK, USA)
Halloween is an old word for ”Hallows Evening”, the night before ”All Hallows” or ”All Saints' Day”.
There are always a lot of parties on October 31st. At these parties people wear masks and they dress as
ghosts and witches, or as Dracula or Frankenstein's monster.
November 5th – Guy Fawkes’ Day (UK)
Guy Fawkes was a leader of a group of men who hated King James I. They decided to blow up the
Houses of Parliament in London, with the king inside it on 5th November, 1605. But the plot was not
successful. Guy Fawkes and his followers were arrested and later executed.
People in Britain want to remember this piece of their history called ”The Gunpowder Plot” and so
they celebrate ”Bonfire Night" or ”Guy Fawkes' Night" every year.
November 11th – Veterans’ Day (USA)
November 11th – Remembrance Day (UK)
This is a special day to remember all the people who fought in the wars. There are memorial services,
special dinners and speeches.
In London, in the middle of Whitehall, there is Sir Edwin Lutyens' Cenotaph, which commemorates
the dead of the two world wars.
The fourth Thursday in November – Thanksgiving Day (USA)
In 1621, the Pilgrim Fathers who were among the first European settlers in North America, celebrated
their first harvest and thanked God. It was a difficult year but people still had food to eat.
Today the traditional Thanksgiving meal is similar to the first. Usually there is a turkey, sweet
potatoes, corn, and pumpkin pie. Thanksgiving is a special day for families to get together.
November 30th - ST. Andrew's Day (UK)
This day is the national holiday of St. Andrew the Scottish patron saint.
St. Andrew's cross is in the national flag of Scotland and is also a part of the British national flag. The

It's the most important festival for many Christians around the world, commemorating the birth of
Jesus Christ. Families meet for special dinners, eat turkey, pudding and open crackers. In Britain the
last day of Christmas is called Boxing Day.
