Colombia Edition
World Open Window Day leads today's complete edition for Colombia.
Daily Edition
Official observances, world days, local context, and everyday celebrations for people who need something worth reading, sharing, or talking about today.
A day for fresh air, street sounds, weather changes, curtains, neighbors, and the way a room becomes part of a place.
At 6pm, every Colombian household lights candles and lanterns on windowsills, balconies, and streets. The entire country glows. It is the unofficial start of Christmas season, and it is the most beautiful night of the year in every neighborhood, rich or poor.
You spot tropical birds like the bananaquit and magnificent frigatebird, along with iguanas and sea turtles in the British Virgin Islands. You notice that islanders favor dogs and cats as household pets, with some keeping tropical fish and parrots. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
