November's little known holidays

> For people who need to celebrate anything but Christmas

and focus on issues affecting them.
November 20 is name your

PC day—mine’s named “Her Royal

Highness” because I think it’s

important to make inanimate objects

feels good about themselves.
November 21 is world television day,

but who watches TV anymore, anyway?
November 22 is go for a ride day,

which is actually really exciting now that

Vancouver has Mobi bike rental stations

at so many stops along the seawall.
November 23 is Fibonacci day, and if

you don’t know who Leonardo Fibonacci

is you probably aren't a math major.
November 24 is celebrate your unique

talent day. Whether you can play the piano

or eat seven full-sized tacos, get out there

and show the world what you can do!
November 25 is a yummy one—

not only is it parfait day, but it’s

also maize day! Coincidently, it also

happens to be world flossing day.
November 26 is cake day—

simple, to the point, and delicious!
November 27 is pins and needles

oes Christmas just rub you the wrong

way? Are you sick of all the carols
and fruit cakes, despite the fact that it’s
not even December yet? Well, I hear
you! Christmas has never really been my
favourite holiday, and it seems people are
getting into it earlier and earlier every
year. Luckily, you can delay the Feliz
Navidad festivities a little longer, because
November is actually packed with little
known holidays and dedicated days!

November 15 is clean out your
refrigerator day! Not everyone’s
favourite, but it needs to be done.

November 16 is have a party
with your bear day, but you better
break out the burgers because
it’s also global fast food day!

November 17 is particularly exciting
and drama filled, as it is world unfriend
day. Better login to facebook and see who's
ripe for the culling on your friendslist.
