November 2023 National Holidays for the Workplace

Yes, November ends with the kick-off of the Holiday Season with Thanksgiving and Black Friday, but our favorite workplace holidays are Stress Awareness Day on November 4th and World Kindness Day on Friday, November 13th.

Give your stressed out team a break with fun stress relievers to celebrate Stress Awareness Day. Then bring in some homemade French toast at the end of the month to bring some of that holiday cheer into the office.

Giving employees the chance to step out a bit early and celebrate the coming holiday season on Happy Hour Day - Monday, Nov. 12 - can give them a bit of office fun, and build camaraderie ahead of a more work-intensive holiday: Clean Out Your Refrigerator Day, observed this year on Thursday, No. 15.

And for another practical holiday that can help everyone at the office take a big step forward together, companies might also want to organize events around Nov. 30, which is Computer Security Day.

If you are looking for a holiday gift for employees, look no further than Successories.

American Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is a day when Americans recognize the bond of friendship as displayed between the Pilgrims and Native Americans during the colonial days. While peace was not always easy to find in those times, we choose to celebrate the best parts of our humanity with gratitude while we recreate the thanksgiving feast. It's origins may have come sooner, but in 1863, then President Abraham Lincoln declared that the fourth Thursday in November should be a national holiday known as Thanksgiving. We have taken it a bit further to also recognize the day after Thanksgiving as a day for holiday gift shopping.

National Saxophone Day

National Saxophone Day commemorates the birth of Antoine-Joseph Sax, the inventor of the woodwind instrument. One of the best ways to recognize this day yourself is to listen to any of the profound saxophone artists or donate to your school's music program.

National Cashew Day

On November 23rd, Americans celebrate one of the most popular snacking and party nuts. Originally grown within cashew apples from cashew trees in Brazil, the seed now flourishes in tropical climates all over the world. It is a great alternative to most tree nuts as it causes fewer allergic reactions and can be enjoyed within similar recipes.

World Freedom Day

World Freedom Day is a federally recognized holiday observed on November 9th to commemorate the same day in 1989 when the Berlin Wall was torn down. This action, and the day celebrating it, now serves as a beacon for the rise of democracy and the fall of autocratic communism in Eastern Europe.
