\"1102\"Election Day<\/h3>\n

<\/a><\/h3>\n

Would you like to know more about the American political system? Check out http:\/\/bensguide.gpo.gov\/<\/a> for a simple presentation of information about the US government including elections. Talk to the children about what you learned and create an Election Day theme at home: decorate in red, white and blue (how about colored napkins on the table?) Put out an American flag, and serve red, white and blue snacks. Blue and white corn chips with red salsa, vanilla ice cream with strawberries and blueberries or layers of colored Jell-o served with whipped cream.<\/p>\n

\"1107\"Daylight Savings Time Ends<\/h3>\n

Move your clocks back one hour before going to bed on Saturday night and enjoy the extra hour of sleep\u2026<\/p>\n

\"1111-1\"Veteran\u2019s Day<\/h3>\n

A day to honor American veterans of all wars, Veteran\u2019s Day<\/strong> is a federal holiday. You can find some suggestions of activities to do with children at www.va.gov\/KIDS\/<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\n

<\/a><\/h3>\n

<\/a>\"1125\"Thanksgiving<\/h3>\n

Thanksgiving<\/strong> dates back to the first European settlers in North America. After hardship, illness and hard work, the Pilgrims celebrated a successful harvest that they shared with their Native American friends. This national holiday is a day to feast and give thanks. Visit this site to compare Thanksgiving to other harvest festivals: www.familyculture.com\/holidays\/thanksgiving.htm<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"1126\"<\/p>\n

<\/a>Black Friday<\/h3>\n

Black Friday <\/strong>is the Friday after Thanksgiving and is the beginning of the traditional Christmas shopping season. Black Friday is not an official holiday, but many employees take the day off, which increases the number of potential shoppers. Many retailers open very early (typically 5 am or even earlier) and offer door buster deals and loss leaders to draw people to their stores. Merchants and the media use the term Black Friday<\/em> to refer to the beginning of the period in which retailers are in the black (i.e., turning a profit).
