Shafted.

Remember your family and friends with December and January birthdays! For they are shafted. Why? Because everybody is so consumed with Christmas (well-deserved) and New Year's (aren't we all?) Their birthdays are overlooked and they often get forgotten and not much for gifts! Their birthday celebrations are often combined with Holiday Events--no individual attention granted year after year!

I am guilty. I have an acquaintance with a birthday in early December where I can't remember if it is the 6th or the 9th and I intend on being prompt about a simple email but I cannot even get that across! So here goes! You know who you are--Happy Birthday!

My want is to acknowledge birthdays--with a simple note card...One year I even did a New Year's Resolution to do this for years on out--but I failed. Maybe I need to do a little weeding. Some deserve the attention and some do not! Just like some deserve Christmas and some do not! Have you heard of "naughty" and "NICE"? Hmmm...I wonder about those who wear the "naughty" t-shirts! (Proud to be evil--you know who you are!)

My birthday is January 13th. I always got shafted in the manner that people ran out of money for the holidays--and thus my January birthday. It seems people need a month or so to recoup after the holidays--monetarily and possibly physically.

Just remember these birthdays! Afterall, they share the season with our King!
