Puerto Rico has multiple holidays in the winter. On November 19 it is Puerto Rico Discovery day. Many families on the west coast of Puerto Rico celebrate this holiday because they believe that is where Columbus had landed on the island. Puerto Rico also celebrates thanksgiving, although it is a American holiday when Puerto Rico became a U.S. territory they started celebrating the holiday also. The last holiday they celebrate in November is veterans day, they also adopted this holiday from the U.S.
