Curiousity

So in another person's journal the topic of birthdays near holidays came up. Which got me thinking and wondering if other people find that there are grouped birthdays or special events? Are they concentrated on around certain holidays? By example I give you the 'calendar' for my family:

Jan- Birthdays- Me 11, dh's son-in-law 13 (I think)
Feb- Birthdays- Mom Feb 27, Grandma P
March- Birthdays- Brothers 28, DH 29, Grandpa D 30
April- Birthdays- Sis 2
May- Anniversaries- Sis and Bro-in-law 30, Sis-in-Law K and hubby J
June- Birthdays- mom-in-law 9, step-daughter M 20, sis-in-law M 24, sis-in-law B 25, Anniversaries- Bro and B- 14, Bro and M- 19
July- Anniversary- Mom and Dad
August- Birthdays- sis-in-law K 6, Dad Aug 30
September-
October- Anniversary- DH and Me
November- Birthdays- Bro-in-law 3, Baby B 8
December- Christmas!!

So mid-June is a bit hectic, as is late March/early April, but other than that- we're fairly well spread out- how about the rest of you?

I'm sure that your parents, like mine, remember we were born... it's just that the actual day surprises them. ;) Kind of the 'Yes, Anne's birthday is the 11th... What? Today's the 11th? NO!!!' kind of thing. :)

I'm really bad with birthdays- though I endeavor to be better. At my cousin's wedding in September I gave my sister three cards- 1- Christmas, 2- Birthday, and 3- Anniversary. I got a laugh. :)

If anything, I OVER compensate for Furuba9 - she gets MORE birthday presents than she probably would just because I never wanted her to feel shortchanged!

Okay... now I'm jealous...

Well, my mom gets really nasty about her birthday and how no one remembers and gives her stuff and the like (and this comment NEVER turned up in my inbox). PLUS she hates getting her bday gifts in xmas paper.

Right. So. She never gets me gifts on time and when I get them, they're in xmas paper.

:P

But, but... you're not her. So obviously it's different. ;)

That might well be her thinking. ;)
