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 30th through history
Kipling is born, and declines almost everything
Rudyard Kipling was born in Bombay on December 30th 1865 and sent back to England at five to board with a family in Southsea, an arrangement he described ever afterwards as a small private hell. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1907, the first writer in English to receive it and still the youngest at forty-one. He refused the Poet Laureateship, and a knighthood, more than once. He did agree to write the script for George V’s first Christmas broadcast.
On December 30th 1922 the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics was formally constituted by treaty in Moscow, joining Russia to Ukraine, Belorussia and the Transcaucasus. It was dissolved sixty-nine years later, almost to the week.
The first underground railway in Asia opened in Tokyo on December 30th 1927, running a mile and a third from Ueno to Asakusa on a single line. A ten-sen coin bought a ride through a turnstile, and passengers are said to have queued for two hours for a journey lasting five minutes.
The Simpsons began as one-minute fillers on an American sketch show fronted by a woman from Slough, before anybody thought to give them a programme of their own. Tracey Ullman, the comedian and actress whose show carried those early fillers, was born there on December 30th 1959.
Born on December 30th: star sign, birthstone and birth flower
Tracey Ullman and Davy Jones — 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 30th 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.
