Everyone in my family has 2 birth dates to remember - the Gregorian and the Chinese Lunar dates. Being very traditional, my parents would celebrate our chinese birthdays with red eggs and noodles. The Gregorian birthday is left for us to celebrate with our friends.
This year, the family gathered together to celebrate mum's birthday... not just once, but 4 times! The day before her lunar birthday, on the actual lunar birthday, Tim Sum on a Sunday morning and on her legal birthday!
Haha... the number of celebrations were indeed a little too many this year but who cares? so long as mum's happy and I'm very sure she did because, for her, nothing beats gathering all her beloved children on the same table. Now, it was actually DC with a bit of a problem... on every celebration after the first he would question: "Exactly how many birthdays does your mother have?" Haha..*LOL*
