Daylight Saving Time Ends (US)* (First Sunday in November): On this day, clocks are set back one hour to end daylight saving time in the United States.

Give Someone a Dollar Day: While a dollar may not buy much these days, this observance encourages small acts of kindness. The origins of the day are not well-documented, but it’s a great reminder that even a small gesture, like giving someone a dollar, can make a difference in someone’s day.
