Daily Holidays - December 9

National Pastry Day If you love pastries, then your day is about to get all the more delicious! On December 9th, it’s time to observe Pastry Day – so if you ever needed an excuse to grab a croissant before work or keep the hunger pangs at bay in the afternoon with a cheeky slice of apple pie, today hands it to you on a plate! https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/pastry-day/

International Anti-corruption Day Corruption could be one of the biggest tragedies of mankind for the simple reason that it is ongoing and extremely difficult to combat, forcing the poor into ever more hopeless conditions while the select few in power get ever richer and more powerful. Bribes prevent chosen criminals from ever having to take responsibility for what they’ve done, politicians employ all of their cronies as as soon as the get into office, police officers cooperate with drug dealers, and anyone who dares object is either blackmailed into silence or “mysteriously” disappears. As of 2014, some of the most corrupted countries in the world are Haiti, Iraq, North Korea, Venezuela, Somalia and Afghanistan. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/international-anti-corruption-day/

Techno Day This musical phenomena has been taking the world by storm, from its creation in the melting pot of Detroit’s musical scene, and exploding across the world to Europe, it’s quickly moved into the limelight as one of the most popular forms of music. There’s something about the driving rhythm that reaches right down into the depths of our souls, and brings out our animals nature. For some it’s just music that gets their heartrate up, for others it’s a shamanistic dive into the psychedelic lights and writhing body that brings about an altered state irrespective of any chemical influence. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/techno-day/

International Day of Veterinary Medicine. lauds those companies and organizations like the American Veterinary Medicine Association that work every year not just to promote the development of veterinary medicine, but to ensure that information is made available to pet owners like you that will enable you to make the best choices for them. Whether that’s a notice about the contents of a new dog food (that sometimes leads to them getting recalled, like Cesar Classics Filet Mignon Flavor Wet Food in October of 2016) or a new medicine that you may want to ask your veterinarian about for rovers, these organizations are on the cutting edge of Veterinary Medicine. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/international-day-of-veterinary-medicine/
