First THURSDAY in December

Today is Great Union Day in Romania.

This public holiday is always celebrated on December 1st. In Romanian, it is known as ‘Ziua Marii Uniri’ and may also be known as Unification Day or 1918 Union Day. It is the National day of Romania and celebrates the Union of Transylvania with Romania in 1918.

R.I.P Christine McVie. When McVie first wrote the anthemic “Don’t Stop,” she was trying to create a song that would cheer up her ex-husband, and also hoping that Fleetwood Mac would survive the making of “Rumours.” Twenty years later, when the band reunited for the live LP “The Dance,” the song had not only helped “Rumours” become one of the best-selling albums in history, but it had also been the campaign song of the then-current president.
