Halloween Celebrity Birthdays!

Tomorrow is Halloween and everyone is geared up for the occasion. I know someone whose birthday is also on Halloween day. So she is going to have double celebrations tomorrow! Do you know how many well known people were born on this day? I was surfing the net and got a list of the celebrities who were born on the last day of October.

John Keats (1795) English Poet
Dale Evans (1912) Actor
Peter Jackson (1961) Filmmaker
Dunga (1963) Brazillian footballer
Vanilla Ice (1968) Singer
Steve Cox ( 1974) Athelete
Justin Chatwin (1982) Actor

and many more.

Here is a poignant poem written by John Keats on birthday whose 202nd birthday anniversary would be celebrated tomorrow.

To My Brothers
John Keats
Small, busy flames play through the fresh-laid coals,
And their faint cracklings o'er our silence creep
Like whispers of the household gods that keep
A gentle empire o'er fraternal souls.
And while for rhymes I search around the poles,
Your eyes are fixed, as in poetic sleep,
Upon the lore so voluble and deep,
That aye at fall of night our care condoles.
This is your birthday, Tom, and I rejoice
That thus it passes smoothly, quietly:
Many such eves of gently whispering noise
May we together pass, and calmly try
What are this world's true joys, -ere the great Voice
From its fair face shall bid our spirits fly.

History of the "Happy Birthday Song"

Do you know that the song “ Happy Birthday” is under copyright? Did you have any idea that originally this song was done to wish good morning in classes?
It might make you astonished, but there are many interesting facts behind this timeless universal birthday song without which any birthday celebration is incomplete.

The origin of Happy Birthday song dates back to the early 1890's when two American sisters, Mildred Hill and Patti Hill composed the song. While Mildred is believed to have made the tune Patti put the lyrics “Good morning dear teacher, good morning to you”. It was meant for classroom greeting song as both the sisters were related to the field of education. While Patty was a schoolteacher developing the "Patty Hill blocks" and was a faculty member at Columbia University Teachers College, Mildred was also an educator who later on became a composer, pianist and organist. The song "Good Morning to All"can be found in the book Song Stories for the Kindergarten which was written by the sisters and published in 1893.

It is still unclear who changed the lyrics to “Happy Birthday to you” and for what reason, but it was first published in early 1920's

I found a birthday song by Sir Paul McCartney. Paul, who once had been part of the Beatles group later used to sing solo after the break up of the group. Enjoy!

Birthday Party on Halloween

Are you still scratching your head for the ideal recipes for the Birthday party of your close one which incidentally falls on the day Halloween. Well,when you have two events on the same day then the best thing is to combine both the themes while selecting the menus. So instead of the regular strawberry or chocolate birthday cake, surprise the celebrant with a spooky goofy cake or can order the ghost shaped or graveyard looking cake from any online store.

Then in the main course some traditional Halloween items like Vampire Punch , Bat Wing Soup ,Jack o' lantern pizza along with the usual birthday treats like Flapjack Party Stack and Apple Salad.
