We have a new flower in our garden - baby grand daughter born to my dil
and
son today at 0958. Mother and babe doing fine, son hugely relieved,
grandmother a tad emotional!
Congrats to the proud grandmother, who naturally must have done all the
work!
A plea on behalf of the babe from another birthday-near-Christmas babe
g.
At future birthdays, please separate the two events. Christmas babes
suffer
badly by such things as: getting birthday presents in Christmas wrapping,
a
single card saying "Merry Christmas and Happy Birthday", one present, and
just a blurring of the two. My son also has a near-Christmas birthday
(Christmas Eve - you would think I would have known better!) and I was
always
very careful with him to have a birthday with birthday cake, birthday
wrapping paper etc, quite separate from Christmas. He did get very
confused
when small and asked why there were no candles on the Christmas cake since
he
had had candles on his birthday cake the day before, and after all it was
Jesus's birthday, wasn't it. I found it a difficult philosophical
question
to answer, especially after several Christmas drinksg.
a friends child was born on the 25th Dec. they celebrate his birthday in
March. what a great idea. they chose the day he was christened as his
"birthday".
congrats to sacha and family btw
