Put the knitting needles down and go do something fun!  You deserve the very best day possible for all you have done for others.  Wish we could all take you out for a rowdy, rambunctious meal where everyone would stare and wonder why we were all having such a hilarious time...and wish they, too, had a perky knitted hat!

                       
     HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO STEVE!!

Happy Birthday, Steve! If only I knew of a way to get a potato peel pie safely to Oregon, I'd send one, complete with candles.

Be sure to take a peek at your profile today. There should be a little slice of birthday cake for you.

Another Happy Birthday wish for my fellow moderator, Steve Gerrard

A prolific knitter of jaunty, colorful winter hats and a valuable asset to the ANA and these forums.  Best of all, Steve possesses a well-honed sense of humor enhanced by a solid grasp of irony and brevity.  I admire that because, while I have some of the former I'm still working on the latter.   

Steve, I hope your day is a good one and that you're able to celebrate in a way that is meaningful to you.

Happy Birthday Steve  :-*  Many more returns.  I guess when you were a kid you got combination presents.  I know I did being a January baby. 

Enjoy your special day my friend,

Steve,
You've been noticeably absent.  I hope it's because you've had a very special day.
Tell us all about it in the morning.
The rest of us have been Boxing all day. Or at least, I have . . .  Putting away silver and washing linens.
Best wishes for another year of knitting,  ;)

I just called Steve's cell and he had no idea there was a thread... He is holidaying with family... I told him to go find an internet cafe and come to the forum to peak in...

I think I heard knitting needles in the background... ;)   :D

I guess when you were a kid you got combination presents.  I know I did being a January baby. 

I did indeed. At about age 10, I made an effort to have my birthday celebrated on June 26th, in hopes of getting more presents that way. Alas, it never caught on.

However, as I got older, I found that having a birthday during the holiday season worked well, as people were gathered anyway for Christmas, so why not have a birthday party for Steve while you're at it. This year was no exception, and I had a chocolate cake surrounded by 3 generations of family singing me happy birthday.

The only thing better is this wonderful topic started and nurtured by DHM. Thank you Daisy, and thanks to all of you for your kind words and well wishes. May you all have equally nice birthdays in the coming year.

Steve, I remember a girl who was in my grade school and her birthday was Dec 25 and we all went to her birthday party on June 25th.  I always remembered that, because I'd never heard of doing that before, but it was a great idea.  They had a pool party for her (this was in Santa Paula, California) and she had her own special day.  Don't know, of course, how long they kept that up.
