I have a friend who was born on Christmas. His parents named him Noel, probably just to rub it in. :devil:

That's Harry Perry. He's a Venice Beach legend, and I'm pretty sure he's not homeless. He's been in a lot of movies and TV shows.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Perry_(musician )

Harry Perry has played himself, bringing life to his iconic Venice Beach persona in various films with cameo appearances that include:

Fletch, Dragnet, White Men Can't Jump, Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny, Gift and Point of No Return, Marching out of Time, Way Past Cool, as well as the television shows CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, Vengeance Unlimited, and Heroes. He has been featured in multiple E3-episodes of the Dutch television program Gamekings. He also performed one song on the soundtrack to the movie Point of No Return.

Thank you all :smile:

Having birthday close to Christmas means you often get combined gifts instead of two. Luckily in Poland we celebrate also name days - that means April 26th for Marzena and Nov 11th for me (yes, just a day after the wedding), and these are usually more festive than birthdays.

I hope you had a fun day, Borek! Good thing that we don't celebrate name days, my name day would the day before my birthday. What happens to people whose name does not have an assigned name day? People who are named Peaches, Rocket, Piper Maru, or Tiger Lily Heavenly Hiraani..

Happy belated birthday, Borek!

Quite good it was, thank you :smile:

Some ar eless lucky than others. Could be there is more than one name day for you - Polish wikipedia lists May 4th and Aug 27th.

They have one party less each year. But they can blame their parents only.

I have two days?? :biggrin: Too bad that May 4th is the WWII National Memorial day, so also not the perfect day for a party. I'll stick with one birthday party then :smile:

Name day is apparently an Eastern European custom, and as far as I can tell, it has to do with Saint Days and those who have the same name, as in Michael, John (Ivan), Mary, Peter, Paul, . . . . , i.e. christian names. I think it is more a tradition in Eastern Orthodox rather than Roman Catholic, but perhaps there are proximal influences.
 
  • #32
It's also a tradition in Scandinavian countries, such as Finland and Sweden. I never understood the significance of having such a day :smile:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Name_day

Initially it was a day that was devoted - for some reason - to the saint of the given name. So, for example, my name day (imieniny as it is called in Polish) is on Nov 11th, as that's the date of the Saint Martin of Tours burial.

However, while tradition started with saints, there are many traditional names that don't have a saint, and TBH I have no idea where the dates came from. For example Eve name day is on Christmas Eve (together with Adam) - that can be some Christian tradition. But there is no Saint Bogdan nor any Christian tradition linked to it, yet Bogdan has a name day on Feb 6th (this is specifically Polish name, or perhaps specifically slavic one, with an easy to decipher meaning - "Bóg" means God, "dany" means given, "Bogu dany" means given to God, this is shortened to Bogdan).

Almost every calendar here has the names printed:

We (in Poland) very rarely celebrate birthdays (mostly kids do), we celebrate name days.

In effect New Year's Eve and New Year's party are called Sylwester, after the name day.

Edit: spent too much time preparing the post...
