Don't Miss the Holiday!

Donald wonders what all these images have in common and why today is a holiday. Can you help him figure this out before he misses out on all the fun?
Luckily for Donald the spirit of Disney brought him to Mathemagic Land where his curiousity was able to be assuaged!There he learned about the Golden Ratio and the fact that all of these images display it in some way. The Golden Ratio is intimately related to the Fibonacci Sequence, which begins with the numbers 1, 1, 2, 3, and yesterday was . . .

FIBONACCI DAY because the date was November 23 or 1123. I'm sure you're glad to know that and will make a point of celebrating next year by going out hiking and then coming back and watching Donald in Mathemagic Land!
