When we were kids, we usually put the Christmas tree up on or around my birthday. And every year I would say to my sister,"I get to put the star on the tree this year because it's my birthday." After a few years of that she finally caught on and said,"It's your birthday every year!" Well, duh!
I actually loved having my birthday near Christmas. As if Santa Claus coming wasn't exciting enough, having the birthday recognition was pretty cool, too. People used to say they felt sorry for me, but don't worry, I made sure everyone remembered my birthday. "Only 10 more days til my birthday, only 9 more days til my birthday, etc."
A little over 9 years ago, I found out I was expecting a baby, you guessed it, at Christmastime. A bit of a birthday and Christmas present all rolled into one little baby blanket!
Jeremy has been taking piano lessons for 3-1/2 years now and is really getting quite a style of his own. He especially enjoys playing jazz. He is good at computer games, figuring out how things work and how to fix things. Definitely a gadget-type kid! That's our Jeremy. I can't believe you're 9 dude!
And now he has to remind us in the middle of all the busyness of the season to please not forget his birthday. How could I?

I can't get over how much TJ looks like BB on your sidebar.
I'm happy to see you blogging again, Debbie! I am simply amazed that you find the time, with 5 kids running around! My two seem to take up all my energy most days. :)
I've enjoyed reading your posts and getting a little glimpse into your family.
Oh, and my brother's birthday is December 21st and he, too, never let us forget it!
