In the last autumn month, Russians are more and more thinking about the upcoming winter, with which the New Year holidays will come, and, therefore, a long vacation. Meanwhile, during this period, you can also have a good rest, if you remember how we rest in November. In this article you will learn all about the benefits of early planning, check the calendar for November 2018. We will also tell you how to relax in November at the weekend, and what is "Black Friday"
Pros of Early Planning
Early planning is a very useful thing when it comes to vacation, because it is possible to guess by dates and take extra days off so that you can get out for a few days, which is why it is so important to know how to relax in November, in advance. Another important advantage of clarifying the dates of holidays in a certain month in advance is the preservation of nerves and money, since many popular dates are notable for the high price of rented housing. With early booking, there are pleasant bonuses and discounts, and you can be sure that your place will remain with you.
How to relax in November
In November 2018, 30 days, of which 9 days off. Someone such a small number of days off from work can be frustrating, but if you know that at the same time we will rest for three days in a row - on the third, fourth and fifth of November, then it becomes immediately much more pleasant to expect these days. The rest of the weekend is standard Saturday and Sunday, in which only people with a five-day work week can fully relax.
The fourth of November is a holiday - Day of National Unity, which was celebrated in Russia not so long ago. This year it fell on Sunday, a day off in most organizations, which, according to article 112 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, automatically transfers it to the next working day. Thus, the second week of November will be slightly shorter than usual.
If the question of how to relax in November is no longer worthwhile, then the answer to the question of how best to relax on the weekend of November is still to come. If you have the opportunity to take one or two days off, then you can arrange for yourself a full, albeit small vacation. Take a day off on Friday, November 2 and Tuesday, the sixth, then instead of three days you will rest for five and you can even afford a trip to the neighboring city.
Brief information about National Unity Day
In Russia this holiday has been celebrated since 2004 and is timed to the end of the Time of Troubles in Russia and the day of the icon of the Kazan Mother of God.
The time of troubles in Russia was the time at the turn of the 16th and 17th centuries, which was marked by the end of the reign of the Tsar dynasty in Russia, which served as a pretext for the Polish intervention in order to occupy the Russian throne. This period for the country was characterized by a great financial decline and a general difficult condition. Then the whole Russian people undertook to confront the Poles, despite the estate, religion and nationality. The whole multinational Russia, led by Dmitry Pozharsky and Kuzma Minin, defeated the Polish interventionists. The decisive battle took place in Kitai Gorod. Pozharsky had an icon of the Mother of God with him that day, and he promised to build a temple in her honor in case of victory. Now Kazan Cathedral is one of the main decorations of Moscow Red Square.
This holiday personifies not so much the victory itself as the unity of all peoples, which has a destructive force for enemies and a saving power for their native country.
"Black Friday"
I must say that on the last Friday of November, Black Friday is held all over the world, which is rapidly gaining its popularity in Russia.Of course, it is not considered a day off, but it will help to significantly save money for gifts for the New Year. Its essence lies in the fact that shops (mainly with appliances and clothes) offer big discounts up to 90%. You should also find out in advance which stores are participating in this worldwide promotion.
Thus, you have found out how to relax in November in the year 2018. Have a great weekend and experience!
