Parhelia , sometimes called Sun Dogs, or Mock Suns, are with the 22º halo, the most frequent of the ice halos. They are most easily seen when the sun is low. Look about 22° (outstretched hand at arm's length) to its left and right and at the same height. When the sun is higher they are further away. Each 'dog' is red coloured towards the sun and sometimes has greens and blues beyond. Sundogs can be blindingly bright, at other times they are a mere coloured smudge on the sky. They are visible all over the world and at any time of year regardless of the ground level temperature. -- Parheli Taca de llum, blanca o irisada (amb el roig cap al Sol), que a vegades s'observa, amb cel cirrós, a banda i banda de l'astre i a la mateixa altura que ell. Els parhelis es troben en els extrems del diàmetre de l'halo de 22° si el Sol és baix, i un xic enfora de l'halo si el Sol és alt.

A "Tions's" group" The "Tió" is an old catalan tradition. Some days before Christmas Eve the Tió (a wooden log with a smiley face) is located on the living room of our homes and partially covered with a blanket to keep him warm. Every night before going to bed we feed him with some cookies, chocolate or sweets. The next day he has already eaten all the food. On Christmas Eve the Tió is very very fat and then it is time for the children of the family to hit the Tió with a stick while singing a song to make him "poo". Every time they sing and hit the tió a gift appears from under the blanket.
