HERE ARE REASONS TO HAVE FUN WITH OCTOBER CELEBRATIONS, BECAUSE WHY NOT!
Updated: Oct 21, 2022
We know you’re feeling pumped because it’s the last quarter of the year. So, here’s a list of reasons why you should get the party started in October!
October is the tenth month of the year, but do you know how it got its name? October is derived from the Greek/Latin word “octo,” which means eight, because it was the early days. It was the eighth month of the Roman calendar. The month is also known as the start of the autumn season, with chilly weather, lattes, and anything cozy. Even though it’s the coolest season of the year, we thought about the other days that need to be known and celebrated by everyone with virtual and in-person experiences!
Life’s gourd with these celebrations
1. International Day of Older Persons, October 1
It is a special celebration to give value to senior citizens and raise awareness of the challenges that come with aging people.
