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

Holidays Calendar explains 'how #IrishCoffee is more than just "Coffee that's been #Spiked (made 'Irish')"' 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 “Spiked (\ #Spike #Spiking #Spikes #SpikeThePunch” is built on ancient words that mean |Sharp Point (also the base of words that mean Ear of Corn, |Thorn, Prickle, |Backbone, |Pin, Rock, |Cliff, Wooden Fork, Tongue of a |Buckle, |Spit, Spine).

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 Aquarius (in the wake of Capricorn) ... no matter WHICH stars they were born under: Alicia Keys, Etta James, Virginia Woolf, Robert Burns, Ron Wayne "The Honky Tonk Man" Harris

... 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 the day to read Genesis 42:25-44:17 & Matthew 17 (if we're sticking to the plan to read the whole Bible in a Year)
