How we source these
Public holidays are taken from official government sources for each country and cover national holidays only. The United States, Canada and Australia all have significant state and provincial holidays that are not shown, and India’s system of state, optional and restricted holidays means only three days are observed nationwide. Where a government has not yet published a year, we say so rather than guess. Always check the official source for the country concerned rather than relying on this alone.
December 12th through history
Three faint clicks across the Atlantic
On December 12th 1901 Guglielmo Marconi sat in a disused fever hospital on Signal Hill above St John’s, Newfoundland, with an aerial held up by a kite in a gale, and heard three faint clicks in his earpiece: the letter S in Morse, sent from Poldhu in Cornwall, some two thousand miles away. Physicists had explained that the curvature of the Earth made this impossible. There was no independent witness and no recording, and the claim was doubted for years until he repeated it under conditions nobody could argue with.
Christopher Cockerell, a boatbuilder on the Norfolk Broads, worked out the principle of the hovercraft using a cat food tin inside a coffee tin and a vacuum cleaner’s blower, and filed his patent on December 12th 1955. The Ministry of Supply promptly classified it secret and then decided it had no application. The story in the trade was that the Navy called it a plane and the Air Force called it a boat.
The Mona Lisa was recovered in Florence in December 1913, two years after a former Louvre workman had carried it out of the building under his smock. It toured Italy to enormous crowds before going back to Paris.
At thirteen and a half pounds, the baby delivered at Hoboken, New Jersey, on December 12th 1915 was an unusually large one. He was named Francis Albert Sinatra, and grew up to become one of the defining singers of the century, and no mean actor besides.
Born on December 12th: star sign, birthstone and birth flower
Frank Sinatra and Bill Nighy — both named above — share this star sign with everyone else born in the same window.
Star sign
Sagittarius — a Fire sign ruled by Jupiter, symbolised by the Archer.
Birthstone
traditionally Turquoise or Lapis Lazuli, or Turquoise, Tanzanite or Zircon in the modern list for December.
Birth flower
Narcissus or Holly (primary), also Poinsettia — most commonly cited sources agree on narcissus or holly as the main December flower.
None of this is settled fact in the way the history above is — zodiac dates, birthstones and birth flowers are conventions rather than laws, and different sources hedge them slightly differently. The birthstone is the most standardised of the three (set by the trade in 1912 and revised since); the birth flower is the least, resting on Victorian tradition rather than any governing body.
Gift ideas for a December 12th birthday
A small, themed starting point rather than a shopping list — turquoise or lapis lazuli for the stone, Sagittarius for the sign, and the sky itself on the day.
