So, quick question: What did you get for your birthday last year?
Or five years ago? Can you even remember?
Don’t sweat it if your memory’s a little fuzzy. Most people’s memories are, no matter how sweet, magnifique, unique, or personal the gifts were.
I mean, I can barely remember what I had for dinner last night, let alone a birthday gift from five years ago. (I have what they call a “Siebgedächtnis” in German – basically, my brain is a colander.)
But!
There’s one birthday gift that has stuck with me. Forever and ever. (I even remember the friend who gifted it to me - hi, Marlene). It’s this totally adorable, colorful, happy birthday banner. I know, I know, it sounds cheesy, but trust me, it’s the BEST.
At first, I was like, “No way. Too bright, too childish, too ... something.”
But now? 20 years later? I can’t imagine a birthday without it!
Every year, I dig it out of its hiding spot and it’s like Christmas morning. I’m all, “YAY, BIRTHDAY TIME!” Instant joy! Fireworks of happiness going off in my brain.
And the best thing? The Happy-Birthday-banner happiness is absolutely contagious. My partner used to roll his eyes, but now he’s OBSESSED. He’s like, “Put it up early! Let’s keep it up forever!”. It’s so cute. This banner has a beautiful way of making everybody’s birthday better.
