29.11(evening and night 29/30.)- "St. Andrew's Eve" - "Andrzejki" - Day filled with matrimonial fortune-telling for maidens(unmarried women) and a special occasion for a last revelry before commencing Advent.
Not to mention the November Uprising! A Famous National uprising, which broke out on the night of 29/30 November, 1830, and ended on October 21, 1831

on the occasion of each of these holidays Poles light candles ...
November should be hailed as a candle month! XD

Chrysanthemums:

"In some countries of Europe (e.g., France, Belgium, Italy, Spain, Poland, Hungary, Croatia),
incurve chrysanthemums are symbolic of death and are used only for funerals or on graves, while other types carry no such symbolism; similarly, in China, Japan and Korea, white chrysanthemums are symbolic of lamentation and/or grief. In some other countries, they represent honesty. In the United States, the flower is usually regarded as positive and cheerful, with New Orleans as a notable exception.

The chrysanthemum is also the flower of November."
