All our holidays are validated with sponsors or organizations.
We do not have holidays for every single day of the year.  Sites that do, IMHO are making days up.  Beware!
Also, some observances that are validated through website links, can't be updated until their websites update their 2008 information.

Visiting us is free! Our Holiday information is free.   We have always paid all costs and remained ad free as well.

Full Moon on  the 15th  is the traditional "Harvest Moon" because this is the one that falls closest to the autumn equinox.  Most of the time (2 out of 3 years) the Harvest Moon is in the month of September.  Sometimes it will come in October.  It name comes from the fact that farmers (and Indians) could harvest their crops late at night, by moonlight, because  for the few nights around the Harvest Moon, the Moon seems to rise at nearly the same time each night: just 25 to 30 minutes later across the United States.
