Day 3

1. Halloween Day

Halloween is a holiday celebrated each year on October 31, and Halloween 2019 occurs on Thursday, October 31. The tradition originated with the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, when people would light bonfires and wear costumes to ward off ghosts. In the eighth century, Pope Gregory III designated November 1 as a time to honor all saints. Soon, All Saints Day incorporated some of the traditions of Samhain. The evening before was known as All Hallows Eve, and later Halloween. Over time, Halloween evolved into a day of activities like trick-or-treating, carving jack-o-lanterns, festive gatherings, donning costumes and eating treats.

2. All Saints Day

On May 13, 609 A.D., Pope Boniface IV dedicated the Pantheon in Rome in honor of all Christian martyrs, and the Catholic feast of All Martyrs Day was established in the Western church. Pope Gregory III later expanded the festival to include all saints as well as all martyrs, and moved the observance from May 13 to November 1.

By the 9th century, the influence of Christianity had spread into Celtic lands, where it gradually blended with and supplanted older Celtic rites. In 1000 A.D., the church made November 2 All Souls’ Day, a day to honor the dead. It’s widely believed today that the church was attempting to replace the Celtic festival of the dead with a related, church-sanctioned holiday.

All Souls’ Day was celebrated similarly to Samhain, with big bonfires, parades and dressing up in costumes as saints, angels and devils. The All Saints’ Day celebration was also called All-hallows or All-hallowmas (from Middle English Alholowmesse meaning All Saints’ Day) and the night before it, the traditional night of Samhain in the Celtic religion, began to be called All-Hallows Eve and, eventually, Halloween.

Day 2

Woohooo!!!! Today a new member added to our family and its none other than a cute dog. Yeah a dog....Everyone knows that dogs are man's best friends. They make loyal, extremely intelligent and uff!–adorable companions and most puppy parents consider their pooch a member of the family like us.

But a question rises!!!Do they love us back? Yes. Dogs express their emotions in many ways—ranging from super subtle to totally obvious so, sometimes, it can be tough to tell what's a positive expression or a negative expression. Our dogs love us unconditionally—they just sometimes express it in weirder ways. 

1. Eye Contact : When your dog looks at you, its brain releases oxytocin. Known as the "love hormone," oxytocin is the same hormone mothers' brains release when they're first bonding with their babies. The key is to maintain natural eye contact while you're playing or cuddling. If you force eye contact with your dog, it'll probably get a little uncomfortable and look away. 

2. Leaning on you : Whether you're sitting on the floor or couch, if your dog leans against you, it means it feels safe, secure, and totally comfortable. Sometimes dogs will lean against their humans when they're feeling scared or anxious, but that only means it sees you as its protector. 

3. Sleeping in your bed: If you don't allow your dog to sleep in your bed, but it still likes to sleep in your bedroom, it really loves you. Why? Wanting to be close to you while you're sleeping signals that it's totally loyal and doesn't want to be separated from the pack. 

4. Happy when you are back home : If your dog jumps up and down, lick your face then absolutely it is very happy to see you.

5. It checks up on you : Many dogs may not always be right at your side or curled around your feet, but that doesn't mean it doesn't love you. If your dog "checks in" on you from another room, during a walk, or in a new environment, it's making sure you're nearby. 

6. Seeking Physical Contact : Dogs actually love physical affection and often seek it out from their favorite people. We're not saying you should pick up your dog and give it a super tight bear hug. Rather, pets, cuddles, leans, and maybe even gentle hugs are strong signals that you and your dog are truly bonded. 

7. It Brings You Its Favorite Toy : If your dog brings you its favorite toy it doesn't just mean it wants to play—although wanting to play is a major sign of puppy love, too. As your pup's pack leader, it's presenting its most prized, most beloved possession to you.

8. It smiles at you: Some dogs actually learn how to "smile" by pulling their lips back to reveal a big, wide, toothy grin. Reciprocating with a big smile and happy voice will show your dog you love it, too.
