celebrating birthdays

If you know me, you know that I enjoy celebrating birthdays.

I was reminded of this the other night while g-chatting with my friend whose bday is next month and being excited that I'll get to celebrate it with her...

I love to think about the unique way that my friends are who they are and think of how I can bless them best by celebrating their birthday with them.

I enjoy reflecting with them over the past year and years of their life taking note of the highlights - to remember the places where they have experienced blessing and to give thanks with them - to remember the truths they have learned along the journey and to agree with that truth - to remember the places where laughter has arisen and to rejoice with them.  Tis truly one of my most favorite things...

So, when did I forget that Christmas is Jesus's birthday?

Now I'm pondering how I can apply my love of celebrating birthdays to celebrating the birth of the Savior.
