Happy Birthday to All

[Suzon]

Today is my grandmother's birthday. She would have been 105 if she hadn't passed away ten years ago. She always complained she never got a birthday because growing up in a practical farming family, it just made "sense" to give her a "christmas/birthday" present and call it good. Her brother and sister both got to have birthday celebrations because they were born at different times of year.

So to anyone having a birthday in the next couple days, Happy Birthday. To mark the occasion, here's a horse with some jingle bells.

My mother's 96th birthday was yesterday. My father's birthday was Christmas day. It didn't make much difference to them because they were raised in Jewish homes. I can sure see, though, how it would be pretty bad for Christmas-celebrating kids born at Christmas time.

My first grandchild will be born in the next few days. I will encourage a June half-birthday celebration, so she feels more birthday'd

My mom would have been 87 on monday. She was a child of the depression in the bronx and would get one glove for her bday and one for christmas, same with socks and shoes.
So i join you in toasting those with birthdays during the holidays!

Two of my sisters are Xmas-close babies. Seems unfair.

We used to do summer birthdays for our February child, because there were more fun outdoors things you could reliably do at a birthday party in summer than in February.
