If you haven’t already figured it out, today is my birthday. For the last 26 years, I’ve had to live with being born on Christmas Eve. I won’t bore you with my life’s story but I’ll just say that it isn’t as great as it sounds.

I haven’t had to deal with this alone, however, as my twin brother (yes, I am a twin but not the identical kind) and uncle are also born on Christmas Eve. We are not the only ones born on that day so I have shared a few more famous names who were also born on Christmas Eve along with some background information (courtesy biography.com).

• Kate Spade (fashion designer)
• Ricky Martin (singer)
• Stephenie Meyer (author)
• Howard Hughes (producer)
• Louis Tomlinson (singer)
• Ryan Seacrest (lots of stuff on TV and radio)
• Lee Daniels (director/producer)
• Charles Ng (murderer)
• Kit Carson (military leader/explorer/folk hero)
• Mary Higgins Clark (author)
• Eddie Dodson (thief)
• William Paterson (U.S. governor/supreme court justice/U.S. representative/lawyer)
• Robert Joffrey (ballet dancer/choreographer)
• Ava Gardner (actress)
• Hamid Karzai (president of Afghanistan)
• Baby Dodds (drummer)

I hope that everyone has a great Christmas. I will be gone for the next couple of days but do not hesitate to reach me on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
