Christmas-every-thirteen-months idea

Yesterday morning Terry and Paul came with my birthday card and present, delayed for nine days by snow, ice, Christmas festivities and fatigue. It was very good to see them and the birthday present.

Here is a thought to help people, such as myself, who have birthdays near to, or actually on Christmas Day, and also to help people, again such as myself, who find that Christmas comes round too quickly. Why not have Christmas Day every thirteen months? As the actual birthday of Jesus isn't known, it wouldn't matter on that score. So next Christmas Day would be 25th January 2011, the following would be 25th February 2012, then 25th March 2013, etc. This would be a much fairer system for those poor unfortunates who have to more or less share their birthday celebration with that of that special Jewish child. If there were more than two followers of this blog (it comes up as three but one of them is accidentally me - don't ask me why or how, it's a mystery) we could run a Christmas-every-thirteen-months campaigne. But currently there are only two, so that's that.
