National Mincemeat Pie Day Mincemeat can be a confusing term for those who are unfamiliar with it, and sometimes even confusing for those who are. Mincemeat is a mixture of diced fruit, meat, and distilled spirits that are often used as a pie filling, but even this term isnt always accurate. These days it isnt unusual to find mincemeat that doesnt contain meat, or contains beef suet rather than vegetable shortening. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/mincemeat-day/Howl at The Moon Night You can keep things literal in your Howl at the Moon Day celebrations, and merely take a step outside and give the celestial orb in the sky a great big howling hello. You can get groups of friends together and head out to the forests and build a bonfire under a dark autumn night, and how to the crisp and clear skies overhead and the moon that hangs there like a giant eye watching over the world at large. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/howl-at-the-moon-day/
Mule Day A mule is a hybrid cross between a male donkey and a female horse. The mule possesses the strength, intelligence, patience, perseverance, endurance, surefootedness and even temper of the donkey. From the horse, the mule inherits beauty, athletic ability, courage, vigor and speed. http://nationaldaycalendar.com/latest-posts/
