#HappyBirthday to Y'all (in the #December21 #BirthdayCohort with #KieferSutherland @RealKiefer & @AndyDick & ALL the #FamousBirthdays @Bing lists) on #Yuletide | @HolidaysCalendr @BirthdayMates @YourTango @MySundayMass

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

Holidays Calendar explains the day of #Yule 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 “Yule” is built on ancient words that mean Festive (|Nice, Pretty ... |Jolly).

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' ...

This Day's Birthday-Cohort

Astrologically, their sign is Sagittarius (on the cusp of Capricorn) ... no matter WHICH stars they were born under: Jane Fonda, Florence Griffith Joyner (track-star Flo-Jo), Frank Zappa, Samuel L. Jackson, Kiefer Sutherland, Emmanuel Macron, Chris Evert, Ray Romano, Phil Donahue, Steven Mnuchin, Andy Dick, Benjamin Disraeli, Jane Kaczmarek

... and many others (most of whom are at the 'Birthday-Cohort' link)---

you might comment telling why we should recognize a special one I missed ...

Or maybe you'd like a reminder of 'where you've seen one of the ones we DO mention'; Ask in your comment!

My Heart of the Nation calendar says that we (Catholics) are celebrating St. Peter Canisius, with the clergy wearing Violet Vestments for the Optional Memorial (and for the season)
