Thank you! My bandaged fingers are very appreciative.

Sheryll:
I can say for sure that next week's birthdays will all
be announced together this Friday, as your Birthday
Elf is going on vacation. 

There is something to be said for having a weekly
party, aside from the slimming effects of us eating
less cake. However, I received a lovely note offlist
not long ago that pointed out to me that these
birthday greetings may be the only bright spots in
some of the honourees days. For this reason, if no
other, I feel it's important to try and treat each
birthday as something special. To the birthday
honourees, they are special days. And speaking
personally as the only member of my family who doesn't
get a family party, I truly understand how important
it can be that special days be recognised. :)

Sheryll:
It has been brought up before, though I don't think
it's been mentioned on this list. I promise that all
decorations are hung magically and no damage is being
done to our party room. 

I truly appreciate the thoughtfulness of your
suggestion!

Sheryll the Birthday Elf (among the many hats I wear
around here) :-)
