Everyone’s birthday, as it turns out, falls on a holiday. [What’ yours](http://www.holidayinsights.com/moreholidays/index.htm)? Sadly, mine is All Saints Day. Kind of boring. ---

Mine falls on Labor day about every 7 years (for those of you outside the US, Labor day is the first Monday in September). ---

Mother’s Day. In fact, I was born on Mother’s Day, and every year, my father would take me and my mother out for a fancy dinner and cake and all that. After I got out of college and moved away, my parents actually came to see me to celebrate Mother’s Day and my birthday. Then my mother passed away, and it pretty much wrecked both my birthday and celebrating Mother’s Day with my wife. ---

> [@zoid](#): > > Mine falls on Labor day about every 7 years (for those of you outside the US, Labor day is the first Monday in September). Mine, too. My sister’s is on Memorial day. My other sister’s tends to fall on Easter. My dad’s is Martin Luther King Jr Day. My grandpa’s is 4th of July. My grandma’s is President’s Day. My other grandma’s is usually the opening day of the dear hunt (that’s a holiday in Utah!). ---

They hunt dear in Utah? This year mine actually falls on Memorial Day. It happens every few years but it wasn’t a holiday on the actual day I was born. So those of you who have the day off, think of me because I will probably be working. Think of lieu, too, we have the same birthday. According to the site posted in the OP it’s also World No Tobacco Day, which is fine by me. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-holiday-does-your-birthday-fall-on/536071.md?page=2)
