Happy Birthday To Me...

Today is my birthday. It has always felt perfectly normal having a birthday sandwiched in between Christmas and New Year's, almost as if I were an important part of the whole celebration. Christmas ... my birthday ... New Year's. It's as it should be ... right?  This year my birthday actually falls on a statutory holiday, so I don't have to go to work.  Usually by the time my birthday rolls around, everyone is so pooped -- including me -- that it is never really a big celebration, per se.  I feel a bit like the Mad Hatter, et al...

"A very merry unbirthday
To me
To who?
To me
Oh, you

A very merry unbirthday
To you
Who, me?
To you
Oh, me

Let's all congratulate us with another cup of tea
A very merry unbirthday to you."

I am a Capricorn, and according to the Zodiac, these are the traits of a Capricorn:

Good organizational skills
Neat and tidy
Practical
Realistic
Strong work ethic
Materialistic tendencies
Conventional
Perfectionist

Omigoodness, I sound rather boring, don't I...?  Well ... hmmm ... I suppose ...

A very merry unbirthday to meeeeeeeeee........

A very merry unbirthday to you, Jo. You like order you say and there is a certain order here, but it is messy,too, with people too tired to celebrate. At least you ca join the Mad Hatter here, the messiest of all.

Let the good times roll on and on for many more Hatter filled years to come.

Happy Un-Birthday to you!

And here all this time I just figured there was this huge celebration on the 25th to get read for YOUR birthday today!

You may want to check things out. All the fireworks, parades, special lights, wrapped presents -- I still think it is because you have your birthday today!

Aha! A Capricorn! It does explain your organized and very well written blog. I'm a Sag, and there's hardly an organized bone in my body. Well, not really.

A very happy birthday to you, my dear Jo! Or unbirthday, whichever you prefer.

May your hands always be busy.
May your feet always be swift.
May you have a strong foundation, when the winds of changes shift.
May your heart always be joyful.
And may your song always be sung. May you stay....
Forever Young.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY,
Kurt
