I just sent out a save-the-date email for T’s 2nd
birthday to our family (and an outlook calendar request to the hubs). Isn’t his
birthday in December, you say? Why yes, yes it is. Are you that neurotic, you
ask? It appears that I am.
But as the crazy plan-aheader that I am, I noticed that the
weekend before T’s actual birthday is December 22nd and 23rd.
It pretty much goes without saying that no one will be available that weekend –
I am pretty much banking on that fact and pushing up my barely 19 month old’s
birthday party by a week.
So rather than compete with everyone’s holiday plans and
parties down the road, I think, why not block out a couple of hours during the busiest
month of the year – now, when no one is remotely thinking of Santas and
dreidels – instead of when most normal people would plan for it?*
Because I might be a little nuts.**
* I’ve even beat my own neurotic schedule. Last year, I sent
this same email out in September.
** And a little guilt-ridden that my child is stuck
competing with Santa for his entire life.
