Wow, January first birthday! Didn't know that! Happy birthday, and my condolences for all the times growing up when you were told, "This is for Christmas and your birthday."

Happy Birthday, David! Not sure your chronological age, but I believe you have fully transitioned from wise guy to wise man!

Thank you very much for the well wishes. Very humbling.

When we first set up this forum a million years ago, though, I don't think I entered my real birthday....

I guess that's why your parents didn't give you a seasonal name, like Santa!

Actually, what do you think the S stands for?

There are more of us with that birthday than you'd think , although I've had people assume my ID wasn't real because of it.

And the Birthday/Xmas gifts hit me right in the feels, looks like you probably got the same

In reply to Antihero :

While not 1/1, today is my actual birthday, and I got Xmas/Bday gifts a lot as a kid. I didn't mind that, I hated that I never got a birthday party and that school was always out on break. It looked like fun to have your birthday at school with your friends.

I went to grade school with a kid who was born on leap day and he celebrated his like 3rd or 4th birthday and it was a banger. He went all out because he didn't get a "real" birthday every year.
