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 cooking fires, candles, heaters, lamps, grills, ceremonies, workshops, and the respect every culture gives controlled fire.
Nine nights of prayers, carols, and buñuelos before Christmas. The novena is supposed to be solemn, but by night three it has become a party, by night five someone has brought aguardiente, and by night nine the prayers are barely audible over the vallenato.
You observe colorful reef fish, sea turtles, and tropical seabirds like frigatebirds and herons in the waters and skies around Bonaire, Sint Eustatius, and Saba. You find that dogs and cats dominate as pets, with some residents keeping parrots and other tropical birds. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
