National Cashew Day

National Cashew Day is celebrated every year on November 23 all around the United States. This kidney-shaped nut isn’t just loved in the United States, it is also popular around the globe. They have innumerable uses — snack on them, cook with them, and even get drunk off of them! Cashews are indeed elite nuts that deserve a day to celebrate them. National Cashew Day is that special day dedicated to enjoying the crunchy, savory, and versatile nut in many ways.

National Cranberry Relish Day

National Cranberry Relish Day is celebrated as the perfect precursor for Thanksgiving on November 22. Born out of love for one of three surviving Native American fruits, the day honors the quintessential American pairing of cranberry and Thanksgiving. We cannot imagine a Thanksgiving meal without a dipping of traditional cranberry sauce, and even the best classics deserve a rendition. Cranberry relish is prepared with some surprise ingredients — horseradish and onion — and nothing cuts through the tart of these red rubies like the zing of an onion. Talking about the holiday season, let’s include National Cranberry Relish Day on the list of things we are thankful for. 

World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims

This year, the World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims is on November 21. It is observed on every third Sunday in November, and this World Health Organization and United Nations recognized holiday was founded by RoadPeace, a British charity organization, to acknowledge and commemorate the victims of road crashes and their bereaved families. Almost 4,000 people are killed and hundreds of thousands are injured on roads worldwide — every single day! The loss of a loved one to senseless violence, and the apathy of the judiciary and the government, is too much for a family to bear. The remembrance day encourages people to share resources and offer critical support to the millions affected by this recurring, preventable tragedy.
