Salamanders and lizards, for example, experience time more slowly than cats and dogs. This is because the perception of time depends on how quickly the brain can process incoming information.

• Cranberry Crumble by Twenty-Six Acres Brewing Co (Concord, NC) - Rating: 4.00

Facts of the Week:

• People have been sending Christmas cards since 1843. In 1843, the custom of sending Christmas cards began. At the time, Sir Henry Cole worked as a senior civil servant and had helped set up what would become the Post Office, and he wanted to try and encourage it to be used by ordinary people.
• The biggest Christmas gift ever was sent in 1865. In 1865, Edouard de Laboulaye proposed a gift from France to the United States to commemorate their commitment to democracy and honor the late president Abraham Lincoln. The Statue of Liberty was officially dedicated in 1886 and has since become an iconic symbol of the United States!
• Jingle Bells was the first Christmas song in space. In 1965, it became the first song to be played in space. That's right, not just the first Christmas song...but the first song ever! During the Gemini 6A space flight, it was broadcast as a prank from the astronauts to those down below.
• Santa wasn't always dressed in red. The common myth is that Santa Claus was green before Coca-Cola used their colors, red, for their marketing campaigns in the early 1900s. Whilst this is true to an extent, Santa was shown in red as early as the 1870s by the American cartoonist Thomas Nast. The modern-day depiction of Santa, with his reddened cheeks and large stomach, his little glasses, and a beaming smile, is what we can genuinely thank Coca-Cola for. We can't imagine a Santa that isn't red!
• Spiders are a traditional Eastern European Christmas decoration. In many Eastern European countries, particularly in Ukraine, finding a spider or a spider's web in your Christmas tree is a symbol of good luck! That's because these countries have the legend of the Christmas spider, which tells that a poor widow lived in a small hut with her children. They found a pinecone in summer and cared for it diligently until it became a pretty tree!

• While bonfires are linked to Bonfire Night traditionally, they’re also common at Halloween, and their past is also a little spookier than you’d imagine.

• While many people don’t enjoy the scary and the spooky, not many can say they have a genuine, recognised phobia of this time of the year.

People suffering from Samhainophobia experience anxiety and terror about anything Halloween-related, and seeking professional therapy is the best next step!'
• The rituals of the ancient Celts were more bloodthirsty than the costumes of modern-day Halloween. In traditional Samhain celebrations, the Celts’ masks were made from animal skins and other parts of dead animals. The masks were said to ward off evil spirits as they passed on at this spooky time of year.
