Melanie always included an optional gratitude section at the end and I see no reason to change that.
Here are this week’s questions:
- Children aside, do you celebrate your birthday/anniversary or is it just a normal day for you?
- Do/did you always give your child a birthday party when they were young?
- If your child was born on Christmas Day (or a few days either side of the 25th), did they have a ‘half birthday’ in June, two presents/celebrations, or something else?
- Would you prefer to give your child a party, or take them and a few friends on a special outing?
Gratitude
A child’s laughter is infectious, contagious and a bringer of memories to those of us in our twilight years.

I gave my daughter a choice on her 18th. She could have a party or go bungee jumping. She chose the later and it was a great trip to New Zealand. She tells me it was the best time she’s ever had
How wonderful!! and very brave!!

Children aside, do you celebrate your birthday/anniversary or is it just a normal day for you? – Whenever my four siblings and myself reach a birthday with a nought in our age, we tend to celebrate together. I think my youngest sister’s Birthday is the next milestone, as she will be 60 in 2026…..I’m not 100% sure though 🙂
I’ll be 70 that year!
I’ll be 68 !!

I took me a couple of hours to get this written, interrupted by dinner, a movie, two other posts, and Duke having a love fit. So it will be up Wednesday. Thanks for the interesting questions!
Thanks Marilyn.

If a child was born on Christmas Day (or a few days either side of the 25th), why would one celebrate the birthday of that person as “a ‘half birthday’” as you call it, in June, to “two presents/celebrations, or something else”?
Instead of celebrating that pagan feast (Christmas) now there is a good reason to come together and have a celebration of a real human being and not of a false god.
Everyone is different and opinions may differ.
Luckily so, because when everybody would be the same, it would be a gray dull world.
Exactly!!!
