#HappyBirthday to Y'all (in the #October31 #BirthdayCohort with #WillowSmith @officialWillow & @PiperPerabo & ... You?) on #AllHallowsEve | @HolidaysCalendr @BirthdayMates #TheFamousPeople @YourTango @MySundayMass

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

Holidays Calendar explains All Hallows' Eve 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)

All #Hallows' Eve is the Christians' name for (and possibly the source of the holiday's modern name) Halloween
The word “Hallows (\ #Hallow #Hallowed)” is built on ancient words that mean Whole, Uninjured, of Good |Omen (Health ... the English word used to render the Latin that might be better-rendered "|Sanctify").

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

Astrologically, their sign is Scorpio ... no matter WHICH stars they were born under: Randy Jackson (of The Jackson Five?), American football-star Brian Piccolo, Christopher Columbus, Willow Smith, John Candy, Michael Landon, Rob Schneider, Piper Perabo (Violet "Jersey" Sanford in COYOTE UGLY), Dermot Mulroney, Peter Jackson, poet John Keats, Vanilla Ice, astronaut Michael Collins, Dan Rather, Eddie Kaye Thomas (who met us as Paul Finch in the AMERICAN PIE-series), Jane Pauley ...

but those are just the ones that I agree are famous;
You can add
 your- or your friends'- or famous people (whom YOU
recognize)

My Heart of the Nation calendar says that we (Catholics) are celebrating with the clergy wearing White Vestments for the day
