What it is Filled
The eleventh month of the year in the Julian and Gregorian calendars, with 30 days, running from day 305 to day 334 in common years and from day 306 to day 335 in leap years, named from Latin novem, nine, because it was the ninth month of the early Roman calendar, and containing observances such as All Saints Day on 1 November and the Day of the Dead around 1 and 2 November, Guy Fawkes Night on 5 November in the United Kingdom, Remembrance Day or Armistice Day on 11 November marking the end of the First World War in 1918, and Thanksgiving in the United States on the fourth Thursday.
