#HappyBirthday to Y'all (in the #January30 #BirthdayCohort with #WilmerValderrama @WValderrama & #ChristianBale (subject of @BaleBook) & ALL the #FamousBirthdays @Bing lists) on #NationalCroissantDay | @HolidaysCalendr @BirthdayMates @YourTango @MySundayMass

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

Holidays Calendar explains some history behind the #Croissant 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 “Croissant” is named for its |Crescent-shape.

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 ... no matter WHICH stars they were born under: President Franklin D. Roosevelt, Gene Hackman, Vice-President Dick Cheney, Phil Collins, Wilmer Valderrama, Christian Bale, Brett Butler (Ms. Grace under Fire), political theorist Saul Alinsky, James Watt (possible-'actual inventor of the light-bulb,' namesake of that measurement-of-energy)

... 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 (which tells me which celebrations we (Catholics) are celebrating, and which color Vestments the clergy are wearing) tells me today's another day to celebrate 'the clergy wearing Green!'
