If you love patterns and palindromes, December 2021 is your month and Thursday is your day.

The month offers nine consecutive five-digit palindromes, starting right away on Wednesday, aka, 12-1-21.

When you write out the entire year, you get 12-02-2021.

Or read it backward, where it becomes … 12-02-2021.

As Iwrote in January, there won’t be another palindrome Inauguration Day until the year 3021.

I, for one, won’t be around.

Stage a seance and tell me how it goes.

After January, there were still 12 more palindrome dates to come in 2021.

But Tuesday is extra-special due to its eight digit status of 12-02-2021.

Want another reason to celebrate Thursday?

It’s singer Britney Spears' 40th birthday.

Spears wasborn on Dec. 2, 1981in McComb, Mississippi, and raised in Kentwood, Louisiana.
