I was born on August 6th, my grandfather on August 5th, my youngest son on August 8th, my mom on August 9th and my cousin on August 10th. The most important historical event associated with my birthday was it being an anniversary of the dropping of the first atomic bomb on Hiroshima. Yay me. ---

That’s what I’ve always thought. My birthday is a few days from November 6th. I’ve told friends that I’m a “love child”. :eek: Yeah, weird looks follow. 😛 ---

From the (partial) poll results, I’m guessing most people marry in June and December. ---

December 9th; my father and brother were both born on December 5th. With our birthdays being all so close together and in the same month as Christmas they never were that big an individual deal in the family; my mother got more of a celebration for hers in February. ---

I also have two brothers born in December. Grandma always said, “beware the Ides of March”. My son was born on Oct 10 (10-4 over and out!) He was conceived in the early hours of Jan 1. ---

> [@Procrustus](#): > > September for me, the result of a too much to drink at a New Years Eve party, according to my mom. Thanks for sharing, Mom. > [@panache45](#): > > My brother and I were both conceived on New Year’s, three years apart. According to my mom, she had to get a few drinks into dad, to get him to loosen up. And normally being a non-drinker, she could only do this on New Year’s. My brother was born on New Years Day. Mom went into labor on NYE, and Dad kept trying to get her to push him out before the ball dropped (no pun intended), just for the tax break. The doctor had him removed from the delivery room. My brother was born around 3am. And I’m a February baby. ---
