Hey! Happy birthday! I was just about to post that today is MY birthday as well. Doesn’t it suck having your birthday on Xmas Eve? I think I had a birthday party once in June. So anyway, I am 26 today and I am slowly beginning to realize that all the grown-ups who have been telling me all these years to enjoy youth while it lasts knew what they were talking about. I know 26 isn’t that old, but wasn’t I just in college or something? So: Happy birthday to us, Happy birthday to us, Happy birthday dear Blackclaw and Sophie, Happy birthday to us! BTW, I got a pair of kick-ass red boots, a bracelet, and a huge gardening book, so far. ---

Happy birthday you two. My mother’s birthday was yesterday, and she loved the stuff I got her. 😃 I hope you two have a good one. ---

Thanks to both of you. Sophie, yeah I use to celebrate my birthday a month early to increase the presents haul. Now that I’m older (yes, even more than you) I don’t seem to have the time. Yes, youth passes quickly, but don’t fret over it’s loss. I’m beginning to suspect that what they say is true, it’s wasted on the young. ---

Happy Birthday Blackclaw and Sophie! There’s a song by Munkafust called “My Birthday Is Near Christmas (And It Sucks)” 😃 ---
