One of my cousins’ birthdays is in late December and as such, I think it’s always made me extra sensitive to those folks who have birthdays in December – especially the later half. When I was young, we’d always have a family get together around Christmas and during part those few days in Southern California, we’d have a birthday celebration for my cousin. I remember thinking how it could be somewhat frustrating to have your birthday eclipsed by Christmas and to have birthday presents show up wrapped in Christmas paper. I also found myself pondering on what it would be like to never ever have a summer-time pool-side birthday party. My cousin was always a good sport about it, but I’ve had other friends who were December-babies that found it much more frustrating. All of that said, if you’ve got a barn-buddy with a December birthday, throw some BIRTHDAY cheer their way like the folks at Barnacle Eventing did for their fearless leader!
