Not too many people go on holiday in November: the Summer has been gone for a while, Thanksgiving and Christmas yet have to enter our thoughts and it really seems only work and duties occupy our minds. If November enters the year with a bang thanks to Halloween and the Catholic celebrations of All Saints and All Souls, it is also true that the rest of the month flows quite uneventfully, at least until Thanksgiving comes, of course.

November’s weather is less clement and its temperatures are colder, as we are getting closer to Winter, but there are a crispiness and coolness in the air that smell and feel like holidays are just around the corner: yes, November is like the Friday of the year: you are at work, but the tranquillity of the weekend is already peek-a-booing around the corner.
