(You can see that my list goes to only about the mid-1800s.) I suppose our ancestors didn't celebrate birthdays in as big a way as we celebrate today or maybe, as you suggest, they didn't celebrate at all. When so many people weren't literate generations ago it seems less likely that they would have been able to specifically identify their dates of birth. I should do some research about birthday celebrations in times past....

That makes me wonder if they ever actually celebrated a birthday. Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17863357756727783017noreply@blogger.com
