The festival season varies from city to city, as some traditions, such as the one in New Orleans, Louisiana, consider Mardi Gras to stretch the entire period from Twelfth Night (the last night of Christmas which begins Epiphany) to Ash Wednesday. Others treat the final three-day period before Ash Wednesday as the Mardi Gras. In Mobile, Alabama, Mardi Gras–associated social events begin in November, followed by mystic society balls on Thanksgiving, then New Year’s Eve, followed by parades and balls in January and February, celebrating up to midnight before Ash Wednesday. In earlier times, parades were held on New Year’s Day. Carnival is an important celebration in Anglican and Catholic European nations.

Why Children`s Coloring Pages are Important: Today`s children still love coloring just as much as the Old People used to when they were children. In addition to this fact, it`s now known that coloring is a wondrous pre-reading activity which helps children develop the hand-eye coordination they`ll need for learning how to write. Parents who encourage the use of children`s coloring pages are also encouraging an array of other development skills including decision making, patience, persistence, and creativity.
You could think of coloring as letting your inner child come out and have a fun time, or you could think of this activity as a form of meditation. Choosing colors and the gentle, repetitive motion of your hand as you bring color to paper helps quiet your mind--bringing your usual rapid-fire thoughts down to a much slower pace.
