Weekly Horoscopes
ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20
It’s easy for your mind to wander and get caught daydreaming, Aries. You could be feeling a little restless and in need of a change. A vacation or a night with friends may just do it.
TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21
Taurus, even if you are trying to save money, this week some situations will arise that will require you to open your wallet. This is why you have an emergency fund.
GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21
Gemini, sometimes people do not know which side of you they might encounter and might keep you at arms’ length as a result. Try to be more open this week.
CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22
Exciting things are on the horizon, Cancer. This might be something you have been anticipating for some time.
LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23
Leo, this week you might need to stick up for someone or fight for a cause you believe in, even if it adversely affects your popularity. Stand your ground in these situations.
VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22
Virgo, you might want to swallow your pride and ask for help rather than trying to do everything on your own. Going it alone hasn’t helped you in the past, so why should it now?
Famous Birthdays
LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23
Someone steps in and helps you along at work, Libra. Instead of feeling he or she took liberties, thank this person for giving you the extra boost you likely needed at the time.
SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22
Scorpio, try to look at a situation from a new angle and then you might get some of the answers you desire this week. Is someone acting out of character?
SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21
Learn how to deal with conflict in a productive way, Sagittarius. Then you won’t get bogged down by others when they are going head-tohead. Aries might play a role this week.
CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20
This week you may find that all of your efforts to build up to a pinnacle moment perhaps didn’t give you the feelings you desired. Try getting back to basics.
AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18
Aquarius, something that has been stretching on for quite some time finally gets finished, giving you the closure you need. Share the news slowly with others.
PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20
Pisces, if what you are doing right now is giving you gratification, you might not need to make many big changes in the weeks to come.

Christmas from Germany
The advent calendar is long part of the German tradition to help children countdown the days until Christmas Eve. The calendar has 24 doors with little surprises inside and starts December 1. Each day, children open a calendar door until Christmas Eve arrives.
Merry Christmas from Sweden
She wears a lighted holly wreath on her head and sings carols.
In France, some families find a large log to burn. They call it the Yule Log and light it on Christmas Eve using a piece of unburned log from the year before. Some save the ashes from the Yule Log, believing these ashes can ward off sickness and other misfortunes.
Today, instead of burning a Yule Log, many French people make and eat a beautiful chocolate cake in the shape of a log.
Christmas from Mexico
On Christmas Eve, children celebrate with a are blindfolded and take turns trying to break it with a stick. When it breaks open, there are lots of goodies

Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes.
