With my ol' Dad's birthday on Christmas Eve and my ol' Mother's birthday on Boxing Day, Christmas was a little strange. It must have sucked for them for their whole lives as likely no-one ever paid much attention to their birthdays and instead rolled them into Christmas. It could have been worse, tho. If you have a birthday that ever falls on Easter then you'll be a damn vain sinner if you call any attention to it.
She would have been ninety-five today and she made it pretty close as she hasn't been gone for all that long.
She picked up some expressions as we went along and, with her kids being a rowdy lot of stoners, some of them were drug-related. For years she would say something 'blows me away' and after a while she knew what it meant but she used the expression anyway.
Happy birthday, Anne!
