November comes from the Latin word “novem” which means 9. The early Roman calendar had this month as its ninth of their year.
November also features a couple of celebrations such as Thanksgiving (the 28th this year) and the Marine Corps birthday (always faithful to 10 November.)
You know all about Thanksgiving and it’s origins with those Pilgrims dining with those Indians but how about the Marine Corps birthday’s history? OK, glad you asked:

In my immediate family, my Grand daughter Lily celebrates on the 17th and my niece Katie (Taylor) Allen on the 25th.
Another celebration day in November falls on the 6th which is National Saxophone day. It is celebrated on the 6th of November because that is the birthday of the instrument’s inventor Adolphe Sax (click here.) I mention this mostly because it is a good excuse to play some Eric Marienthal for you. Give him a listen and he will always bring you up no matter what foul mood you may find yourself in.
