November: National Banana Pudding Month

Many people are unaware that the month of November was not always known as “November”. In fact, the month of November was originally called “Decembre”.  The word Decembre comes from the Latin word “decimus” which means tenth. Therefore, the word Decembre literally translates into “the tenth of December”. It wasn’t until the year 1752 that the English language adopted the name “November” for the month.

November’s full moon is traditionally called the Beaver Moon.  In the Colonial Era this was the month to set the beaver traps before the swamps froze and the beavers retreated to their homes.
