October is here. Month number ten, wearing a name that means eight. The Romans left us a calendar with some bookkeeping issues.

We’re welcoming it with an original song and a calendar keeper who has some explaining to do. Our familiar cast of gods joins the festivities. Apparently, even immortals enjoy a musical number.

And if you’ve ever wondered who put Thor in Thursday or Frigg in Friday, meet the characters behind the names in our “Who Named Our Days?” video collection.

New month. Ancient names. Same trail. Come sit a spell.

that’s made for you and me?

You’re as welcome as can be!
