December 16th.

It's the holiday season and time for parties.

How about .....

A Wikipedia reference-link

:

On December 16, 1773, after officials in Boston refused to return three shiploads of taxed tea to Britain, a group of colonists boarded the ships and destroyed the tea by throwing it into Boston Harbor.

It's Bijôe Dibôsh (Victory Day) in Bangladesh! Woohoo!

And it's the beginning of Las Posadas in Mexico and Guatemala and parts of the SW USA. A 9-day leadup to Christmas, commemorating Mary & Joseph's doomed search for a hotel with any vacancies in Bethlehem long ago.

Happy First Flight Day

:

On the morning of December 17, 1903, Wilbur and Orville Wright took turns piloting and monitoring their flying machine in Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina. Orville piloted the first flight that lasted just 12 seconds and 120 feet. On the fourth and final flight of the day, Wilbur traveled 852 feet, remaining airborne for 59 seconds. That morning, the brothers became the first people to demonstrate sustained flight of a heavier-than-air machine under the complete control of the pilot.

December 19 is also Opalia, the feast of Opis, a Roman chthonic goddess of bountiful crops. Italy must have a long growing season.

Vitus Bering, a navigator and explorer, was born in Denmark today in 1681. The Bering Sea, Strait, Land Bridge, etc. all bear his name. He is reputed to have been the first European to gaze upon the Aleutian Islands and Alaska.
