Welcome to your first October. Columbus Day is in October. We celebrate Columbus Day because Columbus discovered America. That’s why we call it America. (Huh?)
On Columbus Day we have parades and eat Cannoli. I know a lot about October because I went to Columbus High School. Columbus H.S. is in Pelham Parkway in The Bronx. 
(Joel's graduation from Columbus HS) (Cannoli Yum! Yum!)
October is a fun month. In Latin, octo means "eight,” October was the eighth month in the ancient Roman calendar. But we use the Gregorian calendar. October is the 10th month. What does this mean? Ask Eve or Jason.
In Albanian, October is called Tetor. In Croatian, October is called Listopad . In Turkish, October is called Ekim. Don’t go to Kazakhstan, Bhukar, Bhutan, Uzbekistan or Liberia. (Your Uncle, Mike, went to Liberia on October 5th.) ( Uzbekistan Flag)
October's birthstone is the opal or tourmaline. October's flower is the calendula or cosmos. 
Calendula can be used heal abscesses.

Maybe Americus Vespuccus discovered America. Or maybe it was Eric the Red or Murray or some other guy. 
We have a lot of holidays in October. There are Cultural celebrations National Hispanic Heritage Month , Polish American Heritage Month[2], German American Heritage Day (October 6) and Succoth and Ramadan and Halloween.
During Succoth, some religious Jews build a Succor, shake their Lulov and sniff their Etrog. Succoth is the Jewish Harvest Festival. It begins on the 15th day of the Hebrew month of Tishri. It is usually held in September and October.

Queen Isabella of Spain gave money to Christopher Columbus, who was an Italian Jew who tried to sail to India. Instead he and his three ships got lost and ended up in the Caribbean. He may have been trying to discover Miami Beach. 
When I was 16 I dated a girl at Columbus HS. Her name was Janice LaMotta. On the first date, she told me her brother was Jake LaMotta. I stopped dating her because I was afraid he would kill me. 
Jake LaMotta was a wealterweight.

The Saint Patrick’s Day parade is in March. It’s more fun than the Columbus Day parade because everyone gets drunk. What do you like best, beer or Cannoli?
