I'm curious

If you celebrate a birthday so close to Christmas,

does your special day get lost in the shuffle?

Our anniversary is just two days before Christmas

and it tends to get glossed over.

So I'm wondering if birthdays are different?

Perhaps these two can tell us.

Sue celebrated a couple of days ago.

Carol is celebrating today.

When my cousin asks me to make a card

I get anxious.

She's an art teacher and I'm always so worried

that she'll critique my work.

I worry about the colors I choose.

I worry about the composition.

So when she asked me to make this card for Carol,

who's also an art teacher,

my heart did flip flops.

I hope I didn't disappoint either one of them.
