... or -on 'whichever of these holidays, awareness-dates &or event-anniversaries you celebrate!'

Holidays Calendar explains a little bit about Candy (but nothing clear about 'why Candy Day is so long after Halloween 😕) in a report linked through 'that word' below; but first I want to understand that word better. And I find you understand words better if you look at 'the words at their base' (then going on to look at the words at those words' bases, then the words at those words' bases, etc.-etc. ad infinitum)
The word “Candy (\ #Candies #Candied #Candying #CandyCane #LikeAKidInACandyStore)” (sometimes also used as a nickname for Candace) is built on ancient words that mean “|Piece of |Cane Sugar” (to Harden-, |Condense-, Preserve- or |Encrust with sugar, any |Confection with sugar as its base).

I sometimes get a little 'thrill' from realizing that I have the same birthday as several famous people, and enough other people get that thrill from seeing their birthday-cohort (both the currently-famous & the probably-not-yet famous) that I figure it's worth doing 'one of these entries for every birthday' ...

Today's Birthday-Cohort

or Do I mention any you haven't heard-of? Ask me about them in the comments!

My Heart of the Nation calendar says that we (Catholics) are celebrating St. Charles Borromeo (patron Saint of the church where I was baptized), with the clergy wearing White Vestments for the Memorial
