I was born on Groundhogs’ Day myself. I’m still waiting for it to be declared a national holiday. Next year I’ll turn 35 on 2/2/2. Sure, it would be cooler if I were turning 22, but my parents got a little anxious. ---

I was born real close to a holiday–so close, in fact, that none of my family are ever around for it. My birthday is July 2. Everyone’s out partying for the 4th by then. ☹ ---

I was born on Father’s Day (June 20, 1982). Since it’s not a fixed date, it only coincides every few years. Call me a sap, but I get all mushy whenever dad says I’m the best Father’s Day gift he ever got. ---

I was supposed to have been born on Valentines Day, but was too small so they waited a week and my birthday (and **Silver Fire** s) now falls on a day that is often Presidents Day. ---

I was born on Abe Lincoln’s B-day. My dad was born on the day of Paul Revere’s ride (April 18th)(not the year). Mrs. Spritle was born on the day the Hindenburg 'sploded (May 6th) (Not the year). Mrs. Spritle’s dad was born on New Year’s Day. All in all, wacky, but not that reasonable, 'specially if’n you stretch the definition of “holiday”. ---
