Summary
The origins of this holiday are to prepare for all the food on Thanksgiving Day and the leftovers that always remain.

Yes, there is actually an official day to ‘clean out your refrigerator.’ This is something you should do 3 to 4 times a year. Not just leftovers. Get the soap and hot water-filled bucket, disinfectant, sponge and a garbage bag. Then you will be ready to start the project.

This November’s cleaning is primarily related to Thanksgiving. If you are hosting family and friends to your house for Thanksgiving, you probably need more room in the fridge.

With the family gathering and a large turkey waiting to be roasted, cleaning out the refrigerator makes a lot of sense. Not only will you need room before the cooking, you will also need space for all of the upcoming leftovers.

Many dread this job, however, it is an important task, nonetheless.
