#HappyBirthday to Y'all (in the #January1 #BirthdayCohort with @KarenPence & @VerneTroyer & ALL the #FamousBirthdays @Bing lists) on #NationalBloodyMaryDay | @HolidaysCalendr @BirthdayMates @YourTango @MySundayMass @CopelandNetwork

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

Holidays Calendar explains our celebration of the #BloodyMary 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 Bloody Mary is a drink (a.k.a. #BucketOfBlood) that's considered the perfect hangover drink (and I think today's also National #Hangover Day). 
The word |Hangover| is built of the words #Hang & Over (the word describes the |Aches of the Morning After a Night of |Heavy |Liquoring, on the notion of "something Hanging Leftover from the Night Before"). #Hungover 
The word |Hang| is built on ancient words that also serve as (part of) the base of Waver, |Delay, |Stonehenge (and the Method-of-Execution #Hanged originally referred to Crucifixion). #Hung #Hanging #HangOut #HangAround #HangOn #HangInThere #HangTen #HangFire #LetItAllHangOut #HangBack #GetTheHangOf #CliffHanger #HangUp #Hanger #HangGlider #Hangman #Overhang

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: J. Edgar Hoover, J.D. Salinger, Paul Revere, Lorenzo de' Medici, Verne Troyer (the AUSTIN POWERS series' Mini-Me), Pope Alexander VI, Betsy Ross, Rocky Graziano (probably the inspiration for ROCKY (Balboa)), Frank Langella (Skeletor in 1987's Masters of the Universe ... among many-many other roles), Karen Pence (wife of VP Mike Pence), Xavier Cugat (The Rumba KingCugie)

... 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!

I haven't gotten my Heart of the Nation calendar (which tells me which celebrations we (Catholics) are celebrating, and which color Vestments the clergy are wearing); so I look at my KCM 2022 Calendar, which tells us that today's New Year's Day, another day of the conference VICTORY FIRST WITH KENNETH COPELAND, and the day to read Genesis 1:1-3:7 (if we're sticking to the plan to read the whole Bible in a Year).
