Peanuts Begins by Charles Schulz for December 13, 2022

Schroeder sure is loco for Ludwig.

I actually did this once for Shakespeare’s birthday. :)

Yeah Charlie Brown keep up with the dates

Roll over, Beethoven, and see your cake.

This year it’s on Friday with the Boston Tea Party when he turned 3.

But of course!

Boom ba ba ba!

TSO does a good version of his fifth!

I plan to celebrate Isaac Newton’s birthday every year from now on . . . .

Beethoven’s baptism was in December; the exact date is at best guess, 16 December.

Couple days early!

Jeez Chuck you telling me you didn’t know that? LOL

On Ray Charles’ birthday he brought in a piñata. Kinda ironic, but fun.

Shows what a great sense of humor he had.

I remember a few times when we had cakewalks at school. I never won, but I remember them…sigh.

Who knew? LOL

Schroeder’s 3 days early.

Have fun, Schroeder.

Dang – it snuck up on me this year. I never put out my Beethoven decorations!

Well, in all actuality, we don’t know Beethoven’s birth-date. The only surviving records are the date of his baptism, which was December 17th, 1770. One can assume, and Beethoven agrees with this, that baptisms of the day usually occured 24 hours after birth. That would put his birth-date on the 16th, but again, no surviving records.

Bought a cake in honor of a birthday suit I once owned.

And 133 years and one day later on the beach at Kittyhawk, North Carolina two bicycle mechanics/salesmen did something really cool. And 80 years after that I took my first solo flight. I never had the opportunity to meet Mr Beethoven or the Wright Brothers, but I did meet Mr Roddenberry. I used to think of other music when I was in the air, but now it’s mostly this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZ2u8747v_8

This mus be a rerun issue, but LvB’s birthday is actually on Dec 16 or 17, depending on who you ask.
