Two birthdays
- 1888 - T. S. Eliot, American-born writer and editor, Nobel Prize laureate (d. 1965) (I would be much more impressed by this had he written "Old Possum's Book of Practical Dogs.")

(He wrote a piece called "Walking the Dog," so you know he's a good guy.
One holiday
My birthday. I like lots of cookies on my birthday.
