  1. Leave it to the US to put the word "world" in a holiday I've never heard of and doubt most other people have either.

  3. Surely America (and everyone else!) should recycle every day of the year!

    Interesting list!

  6. I love some of the made-up holidays with no real meaning... "World Kindness Day," "America Recycles Day" Ugh.

  7. Japan has two holidays in November, in Nov. 3 and 24. They are lucky to have 2 long weekends. ;-)

    The Philippines also celebrate #1 & #2. We have nothing to celebrate in November here in Dubai, except for my birthday. :-P

    Happy TT!
