An Ode to December Birthdays
An ode is a ‘lyric poem’ in
an ‘elevated style’…
Okay, so this isn’t an ode. Maybe it’s a tribute… acknowledgment, applause, appreciation, citation, commendation, compliment, encomium (what is that? I’ve never even heard of that word before?!), honor, laudation, panegyric (I’ve never heard of that word either, wow, all of a sudden I feel very ignorant, vapid even…), recognition, recommendation, respect, accolade- (wow, I like that one)!
Yes, this is an accolade; basically, a salute to ‘December Babies and their Moms’
If you were born in December or have given birth in December- you are part of a very special club. I gave birth to my son a week before Christmas, so I’m a full-fledged member of this club.
*If you’re just reading this out of curiosity, club members get extra-cool-mom points for giving birth to babies during Hanukkah- if they’re Jewish, and on Christmas or the week before- if they’re Christian.
*Why the bonus
points? Because they learn to
juggle everything and are bastions of organization !!!!!
So without further ado-
Here’s my accolade to December Babies, and December Moms (because they rock)…
* December Moms Rock; they are the most organized I’ve met, after all, they plan birthday parties and Christmas at-the-same-time! And as a result, they are usually the first to get out their Christmas cards… incredible!
* December Babies Rock because celebrating a birthday right now just adds more fun to this special time of year.
* December Birthdays Rock because everybody is ‘up’ for a party!
* December Birthday Presents also rock because you can find some great deals on ‘birthday presents’ during the Christmas sales!
Just 2 more things- Thanks
for not:
* Wrapping birthday presents in Christmas paper
* Combining presents, “Happy Birthday and Merry Christmas Little Guy!”
Ahhhh... With that said, If you’re planning a
birthday party right now, like I am-
I wish you
Easy planning,
Joy,
Calm,
And most of all, Peace.
Have fun this Holiday and Birthday season!
Nicole may or may not have a new post up on BananaBlueberry right now, she’s pretty darn busy this time of year.
