As I sit here writing this Thanksgiving Day is currently nine days away. Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. It also happens to be one of the most overlooked holidays. However, Turkey Day isn't the only overlooked holiday in November. So, here's a list of 15 other days in November that you've probably never heard of.

1. Cooke Monster's Birthday: November 2nd

Who wouldn't want to celebrate Cookie Monster's birthday?

2. Sandwich Day: November 3rd

People who don't celebrate sandwich day can't be trusted!

3. National Candy Day: November 4th

For me, every day is National Candy Day!

4. Doughnut Day: November 5th

Doughnut day is another holiday that should be celebrated on a daily basis.

5. Basketball Day: November 6th

So, this is an unofficial day but in 1861 on November 6th the man who invented basketball was born (it totally counts as a holiday).

6. USA Election Day: November 8th

So, this isn't actually a holiday but it only comes around every four years and it's a pretty big deal!

7. Veterans Day: November 11th

This is probably one of the few official holidays on this list.

8. National Button Day: November 16th

Fun fact about me: I LOVE BUTTONS! (I don't know why). The fact that there's such a fantastic holiday only four days before my birthday is AMAZING!

9. Take a Hike Day: November 17th

Hiking is fun... if you like exercise.

10. My Birthday: November 20th

This should definitely be an official holiday!

11. Stop the Violence Day: November 22nd

Also not an actual holiday, but it's definitely an important day in November.

12. National Cashew Day: November 23rd

My favorite nut has it's own holiday!

13. Turkey Day: November 24th

An entire day devoted to family and food; I don't know what more I could ask for.

14. National Cake Day: November 26th

Cake is delicious and I'll use any excuse I can find to eat cake.

15. Square Dance Day: November 29th

I have no idea how to square dance but maybe I'll figure it out before the 29th!
