Full Beaver Moon

For both the colonists and the Algonquin tribes, this was the time to set beaver traps before the swamps froze, to ensure a supply of warm winter furs. This full Moon was also called the Frost Moon.

Red Letter Days

The term "red-letter day" originates with the tradition of marking
holy days in a church calendar in red. We use the term here to
designate days of special significance in each month -- holidays,
astronomical happenings, anniversaries of historic events, and
days with memorable folklore attached. Information is drawn from
the library of The Old Farmer's Almanac.
