#HappyBirthday to Y'all (in the #December24 #BirthdayCohort with #StephanieRuhle @SRuhle & @RyanSeacrest & ALL the #FamousBirthdays @Bing lists) on #NationalEggnogDay | @HolidaysCalendr @TotallyFood1 @BirthdayMates @YourTango @MySundayMass
... or -on 'whichever of these holidays, awareness-dates &/or event-anniversaries you celebrate!'
(Yes, it's also Christmas Eve; but) Holidays Calendar explains some of the history of #Eggnog 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 “Eggnog” is built on ancient words that mean Egg + #Nog (Strong |Ale (brewed in |Norfolk) ... #Noggy, possibly related to |Noggin).
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 Capricorn (in the wake of Sagittarius) ... no matter WHICH stars they were born under: Dr. Anthony Fauci, Howard Hughes, Ava Gardner, Stephanie Ruhle, Ryan Seacrest, Ricky Martin, Jeff Sessions, Diedrich Bader (we met him on The Drew Carey Show, or maybe when he was Jethro Bodine on The Beverly Hillbillies (movie))
... 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!
