Croatia Edition
World Pocket Notebook Day leads today's complete edition for Croatia.
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 lists, sketches, phone numbers, recipes, reminders, ideas, and the old power of writing something down.
Kids put polished boots on windowsills. Sveti Nikola fills them with candy : if you were good. If you were bad, Krampus (called Krampus here too, though less elaborate than the Austrian version) leaves coal or a switch. The real ones remember: it's also the day you start counting down to Božić.
You discover that the British Indian Ocean Territory is home to hawksbill sea turtles, manta rays, and numerous seabird species including frigatebirds and boobies. You observe that residents primarily keep cats and dogs as pets, with occasional ornamental fish. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
