The two main festivals/holidays around this time of year, Shichi-go-san and Culture day, don't seem particularly relevant to Mio's character. However, I did a bit of digging on the Japanese traditional calendar and found that Nov. 7 or 8 is Rittou, the beginning of winter according to the lunar calandar.
Trying to determine a birth year for Mio is kind of tricky because of the added layer of fictionality (if that makes any sense). Plus the Mio from the original Tsukigomori would presumably have the same birthday but a different birth year (due to the change in setting), which would screw up things even worse for trying to determine a day of the week. XP
In conclusion: I think I like Nov. 7, but we should look up a breakdown for the days in a bookstore anyway to see if there's something I like better.
