Germany Edition
World Home Threshold Day leads today's complete edition for Germany.
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 the doors, mats, shoes, keys, steps, and greetings that mark the passage between the world and home.
Proposed. The Tuesday in January when the Christmas lights are down, the Gluhwein mug is washed and stored, the Adventskranz is pine needles on the table, and the next holiday is months away. The sky is gray at 8 AM and gray at 4 PM. This is the Tuesday that tests the German constitution. The Germans survive it with Filterkaffee, wool socks, and the quiet certainty that February will be worse. The Dunkelster Tag has no celebration. The Dunkelster Tag has endurance.
You marvel at the Ethiopian wolf, Hamadryas baboon, and Walia ibex that inhabit Ethiopia's unique highlands and rift valleys. You observe that Ethiopians typically keep goats, sheep, and donkeys for both companionship and labor purposes. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
