In Ireland November 1 is regarded as the first day of Winter.
November 1 is called November Day(Lá Samhna) in Celtic tradition and is thus named in the Irish Calendar, where the month is called Mí na Samhna
American Federal elections are held on the Tuesday after the first Monday of November in years divisible by two. They therefore fall between November 2 and November 8. Representatives for the U.S. house are always elected on this cycle. U.S. presidents are elected in years divisible by four. About one third of the U.S. Senate will be elected every two years for a six year term. Most U.S. states, counties, and municipalities will have some part of their election cycle coincident with this date.
The Americans celebrate Thanksgiving holiday on the fourth Thursday of November, with the following Friday being also a day off from work for many.
