Yeah, happy birthday Ptichka and Toad!...Even though I know you guys have no idea who I am!...*LOL*...But just thought I'd be polite and add to the happy wishes for the both of you!...
Ptichka, the happiest belated birthday to you! And is this coincidence? My wife's birthday is guess what date ... January 13! Don't tell me you also turned 22 because the next question would be in which hospital you were born ::))
Thank you Norwegian:) It is very kind and nice of you:)))
This is the longest birthday I have:) Still getting congratulations:)))) Very pleasant have to admit:)))
Man, yes it is the Old New year, actually now we celebrate New Year from 31 of December to 1 of January (like the rest of the world):) But long ago we had another calender, and when it changed, it turned out that the New year was on 13 of January. But the whole world celebrated New year on 31 of December, so we also started celebrating it on 31 of December, and 13 of January now it is an Old New Year - just to remember those times and to have fun:)
Toad, you are even elder than I am? And I thought you "kids" are not serious enough for me :o)) Ptichka, I was in SPB on January 7th, they celebrated Christmas? I thought it was the Old New Year. But it was just mentioned, no real celebration at all. I will write these dates down, not to forget in 2006 LOL.
