F or anyone who celebrates Christmas, the

first thing many would like to say is

“Happy birthday, Jesus!”

But believe it or not, there is widespread

speculation that Jesus was actually born in

August. With that said, how many people do

you know who were born on December 25? Not

many, right?

Well, since there are many more people on

the planet than there are days in the year,

there’s no reason why someone can’t be born on

December 25. Here are five famous figures that

were all born on Christmas Day, along with the

day of the week on which each person was

born.

Clara Barton (Tuesday, December 25,

1821). Perhaps the most famous female figure

of the Civil War, Clara Barton founded the

American Red Cross in 1881 and served as that

organization’s first president. During the Civil

War, she served as an independent nurse and

cared for soldiers wounded at Fredericksburg,

Virginia and Antietam, Maryland. Barton’s

work in nursing during the war earned her the

nickname “the angel of the battlefield.” Later,

as president of the American Red Cross, she

oversaw assistance and relief work for the

victims of the 1889 Johnstown Flood.

Humphrey Bogart (Monday, December

25, 1899). Humphrey Bogart is best known for

his role as Rick Blaine in the movie

Casablanca,

which won

the Oscar for

Best Picture

in 1943. His

most famous

quote occurs

at the end of

Casablanca,

when he

says, “I

think this is

the

beginning of

a beautiful

friendship.”

Bogart’s most celebrated

performance after

Casablanca was the 1951 film The African

Queen, in which he co-starred with Katharine

Hepburn and for which he won his first and

only Academy Award for Best Actor.

Conrad Hilton (Sunday, December 25,

1887). When was the last time you stayed in a

Hilton Hotel? Well, the hotel business as we

know it today would never have come to

fruition had it not been for Conrad Hilton.

Hilton believed that every hotel should be built

in its own unique style, rather than as part of a

chain. After founding the Hilton Corporation in

Birthdays on Dec. 25 By T�/0123 P0456��

T he winter is a time of midterms for some,

finals for others, and most highly would be

the celebrations!

We study hard, eagerly awaiting the payoff it

will bring with the vacations and holiday

celebrations with our friends and loved ones. All

around the world we find different festivities and

traditions followed, either out of religion or

family customs, it’s a joyous time of

remembrance, laughter, and coming close to the

ones you care for, according to unitedplanet.org.

Most commonly known and participated in

would be Christmas. On December 25th, is a

holiday called Christmas, which derives from the

literal meaning of “Christ’s Mass”. It’s a day of

remembrance of the birth of Jesus Christ, and

though the actual date of the birth is unknown,

it’s still widely recognized as the actual date.

However, a day that was once for the sole

purpose of remembering the start of an

important life, it has turned more towards a

commercialized affair of gifts, Christmas lights,

and Santa’s cookies. No matter how you

celebrate this holiday, it is a happy time for the

whole month.

Another holiday is Hanukkah, or as some call

it Chanukah. This is an eight-day, Jewish

celebration of rededication Holy Temple in

Jerusalem after the Maccabean Revolt (second

century BCE). Hanukkah rituals include the

lighting of the Menorah, which consists of nine

candles in a holder. One candle is lit on each of

the eight nights of Hanukkah, and the center

candle is used for lighting the others. Other

Hanukkah family customs include singing

Hanukkah songs, reciting Psalms, and,

Fool For Love By K����25 “I’�25” P9����_5�1

I don’t want to be a fool for him, who

is making a fool of himself.

Taking my sweetness for weakness.

Faking his sweetness that’s making

me weak.

Messing my dreams up with his

image; my dreams, now in it, is his

presence, yet s,ll I don’t wana sleep.

I allow him to make a fool of me; I

know this isn’t love but will he ever

love me?

He paints a picture and damn! It’s

lovely

But the portrayal of his perfect work

of art lacks consistency.

My emo,on is doing it again.

Le7ng my guards down, the cage

that protects my heart from the

heartless who wants to tear it apart

regardless

Of my sincerity, my dignity.

Boy please! Stop messing with me.

Don’t do this if doing it ain’t

something you want to do

Or is it that you just doing what you

doing so you can do me,

that, then do me wrong and do over

with me.

Lies linger in your truth

Stop! Cease from making a fool of

yourself!

Cause I don’t want to be a fool for

you.

Or am I the fool, making myself a fool

When your words are nothing but

truth and I fail to believe in you.

I am sorry.

For being in and out of it, causing all

this confusion

It’s my emo,ons, running wild again,

sensing illusions.

Now I feel as if I’m all responsible.

That, I should be.

I need to take control of my thoughts

and my feelings before you take

control of me.

I am the fool. I’m sorry. Join The Campus Press. Blackwood, Camden City, Cherry Hill. E-mail: camuspress@camdencc.edu.

York City, just three years later.

Hilton has been remembered as a

giant in the hotel business and for

his lasting impact on the

hospitality industry.

Anwar el-Sadat (Wednesday,

December 25, 1918). Perhaps he

could have been nicknamed the

“George Washington of Egypt,” as

he was one of Egypt’s greatest

military leaders. Anwar el-Sadat is

credited for his role in the Camp

David Accords, where he took the

first steps toward a permanent

peace agreement between Egypt

and Israel. His partners in this

agreement were U.S. President

Jimmy Carter and Israeli Prime

Minister Menachem Begin. The

Camp David Accords earned both

Sadat and Begin the Nobel Peace

Prize in 1978. Sadly, Sadat’s

untimely assassination in 1981

destroyed any hopes for

permanent peace between Israel

and Egypt.

Karl Rove (Monday, December

25, 1950). No biography of George

W. Bush would be complete

Rove. Rove helped Bush win

win election as U.S. President in

manager of the Office of Political

Affairs, the Office of Public

And next we have

Kwanzaa. This holiday to

celebrate family, community

and culture is observed

throughout different areas of

Canada and the United

States, as well as in the

Western African Diaspora to honor African

heritage primarily by African-Americans. In

1966, this holiday was created by Dr. Maulana

Karenga and is observed from Dec. 26 to Jan. 1.

During Kwanzaa, a principle or value is

focused upon for each of the seven days:

(Swahili and English): (Umoja) unity,

(Kujichagulia) self-determination,

(Ujima) collective work and

responsibility, (Ujamaa) cooperative

economics, (Nia) purpose, (Kuumba)

creativity, and (Imani) faith.

Throughout the world are many

other holidays celebrated all

throughout the year for a multitude of

reasons, but whatever your reason for

this season, I wish you joyous times and

happy holidays!
