Welcome November!
While November can be full of beauty – as the leaves fall from the trees, creating a gorgeous Fall landscape – it is also the time of year when things start to become chilly. November is also the host month for many celebrations! Other than being the month of Thanksgiving, it is also officially American Indian Heritage Month, and Good Nutrition Month – though by the time Thanksgiving rolls around, the latter of these two themes might fall by the wayside! Oddly, November is also National Peanut Butter Lover’s Month in the US. Quite how well that goes down with turkey, we’re not sure we want to know!
DID YOU KNOW?
The heaviest turkey in the world weighed in at a whopping 86 pounds. That's right!
The turkey even had a name - Tyson - He was raised in Peterborough, United Kingdom by Philip Cook of Leacroft Turkeys Ltd.
