I read an article stating that is was the Prime Minister of Canada's birthday today. It got me thinking about who else may be born on this day.
Christmas is a day that we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, but a lot of other important people were also born on this day. Since news and life outside of our immediate family seems to stop, we may be forgetting to wish a happy birthday to some of our favourite human beings.
This list was made up from data found on www.onthisday.com. So check them out for a complete list of 293 December 25th birthdays

So here were a few note worthy's that I picked out of the list:
