Greetings and Salutations!

There’s always a lot going on in November. For one thing, it’s a pivotal month between the hoopla of Halloween and the craziness of Christmas. November also houses Dia de los Muertos, Diwali & Veterans Day among many others. But of course, November also features its very own heavyweight holiday, Thanksgiving.

In the United States, there’s also the small matter of Election Day, set by law as the Tuesday following the first Monday in November. That’s one date every American should keep in mind.

November is also the month when the leaves come off the trees and the weather starts to get nippy in many places. Fall is in full effect, even here in sunny Florida! We have had a fabulous year, November starts to mark the finality of the year and with that we give thanks! Follow us on all of our social media outlets for November Thanks and December Year in Reviews. Looking forward to 2022 and cant wait to dance with YOU!
