Daily Edition
Official observances, world days, local context, and everyday celebrations for people who need something worth reading, sharing, or talking about today.
The Test cricket starts at the MCG. The Sydney to Hobart yacht race starts in the harbour. The sales start online at midnight. And every Australian who ate too much yesterday is on the couch watching cricket they would not normally watch because it is Boxing Day and that is what you do.
The second day of Christmas, and a public holiday in Liechtenstein. The tradition is to visit extended family, and the meal is typically leftovers from Christmas Day. St. Stephen's Day is also the traditional start of the winter sports season : if there is enough snow, the slopes at Malbun open, and the families of Vaduz and Schaan take to the mountains. In the evening, the Christmas tree candles are lit for the last time (in many households, the tree is taken down on December 27th), and the Rauhnächte begin : the wild nights between Christmas and Epiphany.
You witness the western lowland gorillas, forest elephants, and chimpanzees that roam the Congo rainforests and protected reserves. You see that Congolese families typically raise chickens, goats, and dogs for companionship and practical purposes. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
