Thank you kindly, kat!

I always thought an official birthday (like the Queen has) in June, would be lovely.

HB to all my fellows!

Wait a minute here! Some of us Decembrites are grateful that our birthdays get forgotten. Yeah, it was a pain in the ass when we were kids, but now that we've passed the age where birthdays are a big deal, it's kinda nice to just pass the day like any other.





So where's my friggin' present?

Thanks so much katDear, what a lovely thought & much appreciated! I have been casting around for someone to swop my birthday with this year so I can have a party for my 50th during the Summer. So far I've had no takers, can't say I'm surprised!

How nice to be remebered,

I'm still around, though I haven't played for a couple of years. Sixty years old rolled around a couple of years ago, and almost simultaneously three great nieces and nephews arrived, making me feel very old, and I was diagnosed with a couple of potentially very severe illnesses.

With a rather lean pension pot, the first priority has been to hang on to the IT job. So far, so good, but I have not been able to enjoy long roistering evenings of song.

Situation to be reviewed annually.

I was born on December 30th. Too close to Christmas, much too close to New years. I have learned to live with or without. It's no big thing, really, but I'm glad I don't have to live off the rewards other than life itself......

My birthday used to be December 31st, but I've changed it.

Being a New Year's Eve baby worked fine in my hedonistic younger days, but now it only gives people a false impression. My behavior and lifestyle no longer reflect the spirit of the day, so I mow celebrate my birthday on September 14th, a date so boring that the most interesting thing that has ever happened on it is the first observation of gravitational waves in 2015.

Well I WAS born on Christmas Day, in 1939, and, I have a twin brother. We used to always enjoy Christmas Day, apart from any Birthday considerations, even when we were boys. We always got presents from various relatives and friends of my parents, which were , usually, marked
"To share between you for Xmas, and for your Birthday !"

It wasn't until we became old enough to realise that we were being "cheated" out of loads more pressies, "conned" out of more goodies, that we began to wish that we had been born at some other time of the year.

Happy 80th to come, beachcomber! Mrs Steve and I were bemoaning our terrible planning earlier this evening. Our wedding anniversary is Dec 18 and our beloved daughter's birthday is Dec 22. And we're having to do a staggered Christmas this year, one lot on Christmas Day and another lot three days later. Two turkeys, two lots of stuffing, two flippin' lots of everything. We're currently in manic mode...

So, the list compiled in the OP

Dave Hanson
banjoman
Black belt caterpillar wrestler
Severn
beachcomber   (+ twin brother)

Hope Beachcomber and his twin brother

And refreshing so as to stay in the queue
for Severn
and bee dubya ell even though he says he changed his birthday.

Her Indoors was born on a Dec 22, and she was heartily sick, in childhood, of the "This present is for your birthday AND Christmas!" rubbish.   I showed her this thread and she thanks you, Kat.

By the way, changing my birthday from December 31st to September 14th DOES NOT mean you must wait until that date to shower me with gifts. Gift showers on December 31 are still just dandy.

In fact. gift showers are welcome at any time, on any date. No occasion required.

(No fruitcakes or pickled pork products, please.)

From the other side of the birthday problem. Lady Hillary and I had a grephew born this month. We are not sure whether this makes us grand- or great- so, until this is resolved within the family, we are opting for Graunt and Gruncle.

I attended a 100th birthday party today for my friend Barbara (the actual birthday was yesterday, December 10, and Christina and I sang a birthday song to her voicemail. She's been talking about this birthday for years, and I'm so glad it happened. We used to sing together once a month, but that has fallen by the wayside. Nonetheless, we call each other every year year and make up birthday songs for each other. We laugh and have a good time, and I'm not sure anybody else gets it - but I love Barbara.

Happy birthday, Barbara Butterfly!!

I want to wish all Mudcatters a very Happy Christmas, but in Particular Steve Shaw and Kerberoxu. It was only today that I saw their kind wishes of some years ago !!!, I'll include Banjoman too in the wishes and hope that the arthritis is being managed. I have it also and it makes playing guitar or banjo a bit painful (Mind you people have been telling me that about my playing for many, many years in any case :-)
