The date is December 9th, 1991, and it's a Monday. Anyone born today will have the star sign Sagittarius. The weekend has just passed, so some people are feeling a bit down. Others are tired after partying too much.

The Christmas season of 1991 has begun. In America, the song Black Or White by Michael Jackson is at the top of the singles charts. Over in the UK, Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me by George Michael & Elton John is the number-one hit song.
