In some parts of the country, 4th November is known as Mischief Night. People play tricks on one another, mainly by hiding belongings or putting them in the wrong place!
Why is November Called November?
The word ‘November’ comes from the Latin word for the number nine, novem. This is because, just like September and October before it, November keeps its name from a time when the calendar had only 10 months.
The Anglo-Saxons called this month Blotmonath, which means ‘blood month’. This is because it was traditional at this time of year to kill farm animals and preserve the meat for the winter months ahead.
