It's Halloween!
What have you planned for today for the pumpkin party? A zombie, witch or vampire disguise? Will you accompany your children on the doorstep by asking, "Trick or treat? And if they do not harvest anything, will you help them concoct a macabre hair prank, preferably? This tradition imported in the nineteenth century by Irish immigrants to the United States has become very popular among Americans because we can already find it in pop culture in 1950 in the comic book "Snoopy and the Peanuts" or a cartoon Walt Disney with the character of Donald Duck. Today, some do not hesitate to go to Transylvania where many activities are organized such as costume balls or witch hunts in the Carpathian castles. In Hawaii, boats sail on the lagoon, at nightfall, with decorations sweetly gloomy to mark the coup. In New Orleans, it is celebrated all October with a concert "Voodoo Music Experiment" to complete the party. Written by David

Happy Halloween !
Happy Birthday… ! Do you know what you will do tonight? A collection of sweets with your children? A pumpkin sculpture with a beautiful candle in it to light up its carnivorous and scary smile at night? Or will you turn to a disguised party with your friends to turn you into a ghost or zombie? This celebration comes from an Irish tradition of disguising itself to repel the ghosts that came to visit the living ... Indeed, their calendar different from ours considered October 31 as the last day of the year. In their day, they carved turnips (rather than pumpkins) in reference to the legend Jack-o'-lantern, the character who inspired the film "The Strange Christmas of Mr Jack", sentenced to wander between hell and paradise illuminating with a fireball placed in a carved turnip. Anyway, have fun tonight and be up to the myth with a beautiful, awful costume! Written by David
Today is the day of Peace
Peace Day was established by the United Nations in 2001 to bring nations and associations together around the idea of peace. "Embodies the change you want to see in the world," said Gandhi, "it is important to understand that everyone is responsible and that peace begins with an individual approach that involves looking at each other without complacency. Introspection involves stopping, making a break with the sirens of the outdoor life. Listening efforts and self-understanding are the essential acts to put in place on a daily basis and to ritualize a meditation exercise. If the meditation effort is seen as a fashion for some, it represents the commitment of one life for others. The craziest thoughts that jostle in our head can bring us peace only if we manage to watch them pass like a train, at least for a moment of the day. Written by David
Independence Day for this 4th of July
The Americans celebrate the adoption of the Declaration of Independence vis-à-vis Great Britain that took place July 4, 1776. Many festivities are in full swing, fireworks from night and day are shamelessly fired, artists deliver performances on stage to music to mark the coup, and large parades are organized across the country and in particular, that of Macy in New York, the largest. If you want to immerse yourself in this commemorative atmosphere, you can still taste it in some places around the world, like, for example, in Paris at the American Dream or Harry's Bar, mythical pubs that are not afraid of the party! Keeping in mind that the text of the Declaration of Independence, written by Thomas Jefferson is still revolutionary because largely inspired by the spirit of the "Enlightenment": it opens with the "All men are created equal".

It's Father's Day!
In case you forgot, today is Father's Day. And if you have not forgotten, maybe you will find what would please your daddy. We can suggest some ideas. Is it subject to fatigue? A pillow for massaging the neck or an essential oil diffuser and you could make him happy. Is he often late for appointments? A watch with Einstein's image to forgive him the fact that time is very relative. Does he like good wines? Why not a wine aerator or a light carafe. Is he a big nostalgic of the fifties? A retro popcorn machine will do just fine, but a turntable with one or two discs may be just right. And if it is not physically demanding, perhaps it is just waiting for your visit to enjoy your presence, his best gift. Written by David
Organize your shopping!
To avoid spoiling your life, it is recommended to do your Christmas shopping no later than the first week of December and again the first rushes begin to appear around December 5 and 6 ... And preferably, do your shopping in week on the occasion of a day off that you ask, at the opening of the store because the shelves are full. You will avoid elbowing in the crowd and you can approach the holidays more serenely. The best way to gain speed is to split your purchases with family or friends, which will save you from ending up with a duplicate toy or running for hours. And now, the case is in the bag: you have succeeded your challenge, stronger than Schwarzy in his toy race, without stress and without anxiety. Thanks WHO? Free-horoscope.com of course!

Very nice new year!
For New Year's Eve, many of us are going to discover new cities here and there in Europe to celebrate the event in new sets that will mark the occasion. In Barcelona, city dwellers like to gather around the fountain of Montjuïc or on the beach to watch the fireworks... In London, where the French are the most numerous (2h30 from Paris, by train), the essential place is Westminster Bridge or Big Ben... At the New Year's Eve in Amsterdam, the celebrations are very festive, especially in Oosterdok, north of the Centrum district, behind the ship "Amsterdam". In Berlin, the main festivities are in full swing between the Brandenburg Gate and the Victory Column. In Rome you can admire a beautiful explosion of colors near the Colosseum, of course! With our Scottish friends, Edinburgh is not outdone, the traditional songs, especially "Auld Lang Syne", resound among a procession of thousands of candles! And the Brussels fireworks are shot at Mont des Arts, in the city center. Anyway, wherever you are, the whole team of my-horoscope-of-the-day wishes you an excellent New Year's Eve! Written by David
Merry Christmas!
A little humor on this day of celebration. The very young and famous actress Shirley Temple told the end of the myth of Santa Claus in these words: "I understood that Santa did not exist when I was 5 years old. I entered a department store and he asked me for an autograph. How many children have doubts about Santa's existence! But today, everyone is supposed to believe, children as adults because it is more a festive and warm mood. And for the children who express doubts about his existence, maybe it is good to answer them "Do you wonder if he exists? According to you ? Do you really want to believe it? Often the answers provided will indicate if they still have an interest in living in this magic. But today, fateful day if any, where gifts rain more or less in the house, they will probably avoid this type of questioning. In conclusion, the whole team of http://www.free-horoscope.com joins me in wishing you a very, very beautiful Christmas! Written by David
Eve for latecomers...
If you have fallen behind in your preparations, do not panic! You can always ask children to make small decorative items before Santa Claus arrives, and to help you, websites like creavea.com or homelisty.com provide tutorials that show you how to divert everyday objects with paper, plastic, cardboard. You also have the option of Dollar Tree (more than 14,000 stores in USA and Canada) that offer a host of products at ridiculous prices: foot glasses with gold ribbon pattern, red sub-plates adorned with small fir trees and even chair covers in red and white felt reminiscent of Santa Claus. And if you still dry question gifts, there are simple solutions such as prepaid cards: it usually wins a lot of success because they allow you to buy what you want. Merry Christmas! Written by David
