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 27th through history
The Beagle sails with a passenger who is seasick
HMS Beagle finally sailed from Plymouth on December 27th 1831, two months behind schedule and twice driven back by gales. Charles Darwin, twenty-two, was aboard not as ship’s naturalist but as a gentleman companion for Captain FitzRoy, who wanted educated conversation on a long survey. Darwin’s father had thought the whole thing a waste of a career and was talked round by his brother-in-law, Josiah Wedgwood. Darwin was seasick for much of the five years and never went to sea again.
Peter Pan opened at the Duke of York’s Theatre in London on December 27th 1904. J. M. Barrie was so unsure that an audience would clap to revive Tinker Bell that he arranged for the orchestra to do it if nobody else would. They need not have worried. Barrie gave the copyright to Great Ormond Street Hospital in 1929, an arrangement Parliament later made perpetual.
Apollo 8 came down in the Pacific on December 27th 1968 after six days, having circled the Moon ten times. Among the telegrams waiting for Frank Borman was one from a stranger which ended: you saved 1968.
Louis Pasteur, the chemist and microbiologist who gave the world pasteurisation, was born on December 27th 1822. He devised the process to stop wine and beer spoiling; the application to milk came later, and from other people.
Born on December 27th: star sign, birthstone and birth flower
Louis Pasteur and Johannes Kepler — both named above — share this star sign with everyone else born in the same window.
Star sign
Capricorn — an Earth sign ruled by Saturn, symbolised by the Sea-Goat.
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 27th birthday
A small, themed starting point rather than a shopping list — turquoise or lapis lazuli for the stone, Capricorn for the sign, and the sky itself on the day.
