We’ve seen stories of complete strangers helping people they don’t even know, but what about people helping animals they don’t know?
Recently a cab driver in India was driving when he came across an injured monkey on the side of the road. He decided to pull over to help and started to give the monkey CPR, including mouth-to-mouth. It worked! He managed to save its life.
Even crazier… someone got it all on video.

Poinsettias are a really beautiful plant, but why are they so popular to decorate with at Christmas time? Besides the obvious fact that they are Christmas colors, red and green.
The poinsettia story all goes back to plant’s native Mexico, where legend has it a little girl left some seeds from a weed as a gift for a baby Jesus that was in a nativity scene. In the time after the seeds miraculously turned into the gorgeous flower we now know as a poinsettia.
In the 19th-century the U.S. ambassador to Mexico at the time was Joel Roberts Poinsett. He brought the plants with him back to the States. That’s how the plant became the official Christmas flower and it was named after him “poinsettias”.

I love a good story about friends reconnecting with each other. Especially when there is a twist like this story.
Two women from here in Connecticut named Cheryl Becker and Linda Rinaldi worked together three decades ago at a hospital here in Connecticut. They had lost touch since but now 30 years later they reconnected after they both started researching their ancestry with those online DNA test. Not only did they find each other again they also figured out how they’re half-sisters! How crazy?!

Now that you’ve pulled all of your snow globes out from the basement to put on display for the holidays you’ve probably been wondering what the snow particles are made of? No? You’re not? Well I’m going to tell you anyway…
The snow, or the technical term for it “flitter”, was originally bone chips or pieces of porcelain they would use, sometimes it would be sand or sawdust too. As the years went on and snow globes became more popular and and fancy the glass became thinner, the bases were lighter. Eventually the snow was made out of particles of gold foil or non-soluble soap flakes. Which is usually what it is today.
For health and safety reasons, white plastic has actually become more common in most modern snow globes when they’re made.
