The reason

Why November ranks #10

November is the 3rd rarest month, and six of the twenty rarest birthdays of the year are here.

  • Thanksgiving. It moves between the 22nd and the 28th, so instead of one dip it smears across the second half of the month: November 23 to November 28 are all in the bottom twenty. The rarest is November 26, #360.
  • Veterans Day. November 11 is an ordinary birthday, #180 of 366: a day off work is not a day off for delivery wards.
  • Its best date. November 1 is the most common November birthday, #102 of 366, well clear of the holiday week.
