November Random Holidays

October 24, 2019 2 Comments

It’s time to start planning your November Calendar, and I have some inspiration for adding November Random Holidays to your schedule.

I know you’re with me on this – how can it be nearly November already? I’m starting to believe the conspiracy theory that time is moving faster. Perhaps it’s because I’m getting older, and so each passing day is just a smaller part of my overall life.

In an effort to slow time down or at least return it to normal speed, I make an effort to celebrate little things. It’s possible to make memories every day, even if it’s not a significant national holiday or a huge life event.

You’re Invited to Celebrate

Wouldn’t you want more reasons to celebrate? Wouldn’t your kids or work-family pause for just a moment, a significant moment to enjoy a doughnut? (By the way, National Doughnut Day is November the 5th!)

I invite you to pursue the small things, the seemingly insignificant events. Because when you look back on your week, month, or even year, it will be these moments that create a special place in your heart. These pinpoints of joy that stand out among the blurred days. Even if you don’t like any of my chosen random holidays, you can select some days that you prefer.

Random Holidays – Google Calendar

After celebrating different holidays for over a year, I decided to create a Google Calendar to see all the holidays I’d love to celebrate. It makes it easy to share creations, words, and ideas on social media and with friends and family. The best part about Google calendars is that you can toggle them on and off when you don’t want to see them.

If you click on the calendar item, it has a link to the source & relevant hashtags! I’m always evolving this calendar – and I will add calendar days or corrections all the time.

Tip: The calendar will show the current month, you can navigate to the month of your choice by using the arrows or dropdown.

If you want to add my calendar to your Google calendar:

  • Go to your Google calendars and click the + next to other calendars
  • Choose ‘add other calendars.’
  • Then click Subscribe to Calendar
  • After that, paste the text below in the “add calendar.”
  • Toggle the schedule on and off when you want to access it – that’s what I do.

I won’t list all the random holidays, but just the ones that work with ChocolateMusings.com – so, of course, you’ll see a lot of food, art, creativity & some miscellaneous holidays are thrown in as well.

November Random Holidays on the Chocolate Musings Calendar

After adding appointments and scheduled items to my calendar, I add the Random Holidays. Even though they are small moments, my family looks forward to them. I find that my kids look through my calendar just to see the random holidays and then share it with their friends. November’s Random Holidays don’t disappoint.

Month-Long Celebrations

Pick a day or multiple days for these November celebrations!

  • Gratitude Month
  • Peanut Butter Lovers Month
  • National Novel Writing Month #NaNoWriMo

November Random Holidays – Fun Celebrations

  • 1st – National Author’s Day
  • 2nd – Look for Circles Day (Check out my Circle-related posts here! I love to use circles in my bullet journal. In fact, here’s a post on creating circles in your bullet journal)
  • 2nd – Ohio Day
  • 5th – National Love Your Red Hair Day – since we have many red-heads in my family, we celebrate their lack of pigment this day!

Everyone should celebrate World Kindness Day every day! Without a doubt, the world be a better place if we gave the benefit of the doubt and treated everyone just a little better? I know I could improve, so I’ll start with one day and take it a step at a time.

  • 15th – Clean Out Your Fridge Day – clearly excellent preparation for the coming food holiday! Though I’d probably need to do it again before Thanksgiving.
  • 16th – National Button Day – my mom used to have a big box of buttons that I would string together even though I don’t have a button box, I plan on sharing this memory with my family. Did you have a button box as a kid?

Despite having a busy schedule, it’s easy for me to add a treat or plan a meal around a random holiday, my kids love it, and it’s effortless to add those moments of joy I seek in our lives.

  • 3rd – National Sandwich Day – since sandwiches are my husband’s favorite food, he’s all too happy to celebrate this holiday multiple times in the month!

Pick and Choose

You don’t have to celebrate them all, but choose a few dates that you pause the rush of life and take a moment to yourself or as a family to create lasting memories. That’s the point of these random holidays for me, and I hope you gain the sense of what it could mean for you.

Among the November Random Holidays, this month is #nationalgratitudemonth, and I fully intend on keeping a one-line or one-word gratitude journal for the month. Is that something you’d like to do, too?

What other days do you think you’ll add to your calendar? Hint: if the date doesn’t fit for you – there’s no hard rule stating you can’t celebrate another day. Use a weekend or a free weeknight to create your memories.

About Me


Hi! I'm Tricia, the creative behind ChocolateMusings.com, I know how it feels to lose your inner muse. After years of darkness (which I call the dark ages of my life), I found my inner muse hiding in the forgotten corners of my soul, I vowed never to lose sight of her again.

Bullet journaling helped reignite the passion for art and living life again while organizing my days. I also discovered modern calligraphy and watercolor. Since then, my use of the bullet journal system has evlolved and I call it 'creative planning'. Here on the blog, I show you how to use your planner to ignite your inner muse and explore creativity and art while staying beautifully organized and living a joyful life.

I invite you to grab some good chocolate and dive into my musings. Let’s ignite your inner muse.
