Family Time 11-2025

November is full of lots to do, celebrate, eat, enjoy and make good family time out of. November includes Native American Heritage Month, National Adoption Month, Military Family Appreciation Month, National Gratitude Month, National Inspirational Role Models Month, Veteran’s Day, the Marine Corp Birthday, World Kindness Day, World Hello Day, American Made Matters Day, and the Great American Smokeout Day. We get an extra hour of sleep, let our voices be heard by VOTING, and start the end of year holiday season with Thanksgiving and un-official holiday reunions full of family, friends, meals, fun and games, and so much to be thankful and grateful for.

Family Days to celebrate this month include: Family Stories Month, National Family Caregivers Appreciation Month, National Family Literacy Month, National Family Week, National Housewives Day, National Men Make Dinner Day, and National Parents as Teachers Day. And don’t forget your family members birthdays, anniversaries, and special celebrations and occasions.

Following is our list of fun days to turn into great Family Time this month. On days that celebrate foods, incorporate them into your meals and give the kids a cooking lesson. On dates with activities, add them into your daily routine. On all other days have a discussion, do some research, discover something new about the day. Make a game of it, get the whole family involved, and have some fun.
