November 13 - WORLD KINDNESS DAY

November 30 - FIRST DAY OF ADVENT

International

On the first Sunday of Advent, the Advent season begins. In 2025, Advent begins on November 30. Between then and Christmas Eve, many families spend time preparing the house for Christmas day while also racing to finish the Christmas shopping.

The meaning of the word Advent comes from the Latin Ad (to) and Venire (come) and translates as arrival. In this sense, Advent is the period of time when Christians wait for the arrival of Jesus who, according to tradition and custom, was born on Christmas day.
