#HappyBirthday to Y'all (in the #December30 #BirthdayCohort with #KristenKreuk @kreukkristen & @EllieGoulding & ALL the #FamousBirthdays @Bing lists) on #FallingNeedlesFamilyFestDay @NationalToday | @HolidaysCalendr @BirthdayMates @TasteOfHome @YourTango @MySundayMass
... or -on 'whichever of these holidays, awareness-dates &/or event-anniversaries you celebrate!'
National Today explains this yearly reminder (for the whole family to pick up any #needles their Christmas-trees have shed) 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 “Needles (\ #Needle #Needlepoint #Needlework #EyeOfTheNeedle (often referring to Matthew 14:24) #Needledom #Needled #Needling #PineNeedle)” is built on ancient words that mean "|Instrument used to |Sew or Spin (Wraps up, Thread)" (and that's what we call the '|Leaves' of Evergreen Trees, because of their resemblance).

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 ... no matter WHICH stars they were born under: LeBron James, Sean Hannity, Tiger Woods, Mike Pompeo, Matt Lauer, Davy Jones, Eliza Dushku, Rudyard Kipling, Meredith Viera, Kristin Kreuk (Lana Lane in SMALLVILLE ... who ought to play Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez in the possibly-upcoming biopic), Ellie Goulding, Tracey Ullman, Heidi Fleiss, Bo Diddley, Fred Ward ('Kevin Bacon's' colleague in TREMORS)
... and many others (most of whom are at the 'Birthday-Cohort' link)---
