Let's make this birthday one to remember.

75 years old (Born on November 06, 1949)

Happy Birthday, Ernest Thompson! May your day be filled with more miracles than 34th Street itself. Your timeless storytelling has warmed hearts and reminded us all to believe in magic—especially the kind that comes wrapped in holiday cheer.

From penning unforgettable classics to directing scenes that tug at our heartstrings, you've gifted audiences countless smiles and joyful tears. Here's hoping this birthday brings you as much laughter and delight as you've given generations of fans.

Cheers to another year of creativity, inspiration—and perhaps a few extra slices of cake (because calories don't count on birthdays)!
