1 November: All Saints Day. Let's make “Saint's bones”! Recipe
Despite the odd name, huesos de santo or "saint's bones" are delicious . The Spanish traditionally eat them on November 1st, All Saints Day. That is the day when families gather and visit their loved-ones' graves. The funny name of this sweet comes from the appearance of a white bone on the outside, and is filled with a sticky yellow filling. -
5 November: Bonfire night - This event marks the anniversary of Guy Fawkes’ plot to blow up the House of Lords in 1605. There are thousands of organised bonfire night events across the UK to enjoy the spectacular firework displays.

30th November - Saint Andrew.
This holiday is a Romanian variant of Halloween. During that night, the
skies open and all animals start speaking, but whoever listens to them,
will soon die. -

In Poland we also celebrate 30th November - Saint Andrew's Day. In Poland a belief exists that the night before Saint Andrew's Day is especially suitable for magic that reveals a young woman's future husband. If the girl fasted all day and prayed to Saint Andrew, her future beloved husband could appear in her dream.
