December 16th, pity I didn't wait a day and arrive on the 17th so I could have been born on the anniversary of powered flight. My sister did arrive on the 17th, two years later.

Not much happened on 16th.

The battle of the bulge and the Boston tea party are the only ones of note. I share a birthday with Arthur C Clarke and Beethoven apparently and my two year old niece Emma!
