A classy meal.
Nah, man, you gotta do like the parents of my friend who was born Jan 02. Christmas and anniversary (in this case, of birth) just get rolled into one.
Of course, he always felt cheated… so there’s that.
That’s pretty much where we are but this is after 27 years of marriage. I can’t be sure I remember right, but at 11 years like Dan I think we were still looking for special somethings for birthdays and maybe Christmas.
As for anniversaries, I (more correctly, my work) blew that right out of the gate. I missed our first 5 anniversaries due to business travel.
Now we mostly just be sure to get each other cards for birthday/christmas/anniversary. Sometimes we’ll wrap each others’ Amazon purchases.

I would have taken a strategic nap instead.
You do realize that stuff will melt and run off eventually. So, “Let It Go”.

Not in the mountains.
I calculate his elevation at approximately 3500 ft.
Mom’s birthday is December 23. Dad always made sure we had a cake and gifts for her on that day. And then after dinner we trimmed the tree.
Dad’s no longer with us, but we still make sure Dec 23 is its own day of celebration. Not too sure what we’ll do for her 94th this year as my sister passed last week (and she would have turned 60 this Tuesday). But I’m sure we’ll have something small and low key.

Yabut I think you need more than 4x that elevation to keep snow? Except at the poles, of course.

Nope. Both my adult children have mid to late December birthdays ( @gaffk eldest on December 23rd!) and by me, that was never allowed.

I love Barbra Streisand’s rendition of the song, especially when she sings, “Touch me, it’s so EASY to leave me….”
Wow. You went WAY BACK there!

My sweet Dad turned 97 today! Still living on his own despite his extreme sight and hearing deficits - what a survivor and an inspiration! Sadly, he lost his wonderful girlfriend a few days ago, and her memorial is tomorrow. 
For the most part, his spirits are good, and he’s celebrating tonight at a local pizzeria with family and friends - yay Dad! 
We will be in Utah to ring in the New Year with him, along with a couple large coolers of food for his freezer, and Greek pastries and other baked things to share with his friends, relatives and neighbors. Life is good.
