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 15th through history
Glenn Miller takes off from Bedfordshire
On December 15th 1944 Glenn Miller climbed into a single-engined Norseman at an airfield near Bedford to fly to Paris ahead of his band, which was to play for the troops at Christmas. The aircraft never arrived and no trace of it or the three men aboard was ever found. He was forty and the most popular bandleader in the world. Theories have accumulated in the eighty years since; the likeliest remains freezing weather, an unheated aeroplane and the Channel below.
Gone with the Wind had its premiere in Atlanta on December 15th 1939 after three days of parades. Scarlett O’Hara was played by Vivien Leigh, a British actress who had come late to a search involving some 1,400 candidates. Hattie McDaniel, who won an Academy Award for the film, was barred by Georgia’s segregation laws from attending the premiere of it.
Gemini 6 and Gemini 7 met in orbit on December 15th 1965 and flew alongside one another a few feet apart for several hours, the first rendezvous of two crewed spacecraft and the manoeuvre on which every docking since has depended.
The tower was to come down after twenty years, and survives because it turned out to be a very good radio aerial. Its designer, the engineer Gustave Eiffel, was born on December 15th 1832.
Born on December 15th: star sign, birthstone and birth flower
Gustave Eiffel and Charlie Cox — 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 15th 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.
