Happy Birthday to Me!!!
The majority of my family lives far away (stretching from North Carolina into the northern noman's land in Canada) so birthday cards have become quite popular over the years.
The way that birthdays are perceived confuses me a little bit.
"Congratulations! Best wishes for your new year"
Translation...
"hey great job on staying alive for another year! hope you can keep it up this year to"
If the day is supposed to be just about you why aren't the cards just about how great (or horrible) of a person you are. They could talk about your interests, ask about your life, or tell you about their's, but instead my birthday cards all came from Hallmark's 1st store aisle where the implication of a birthday has become a litttle bit cloudy.
However, I do love cake, flowers, balloons and celebrations!
