Today Is My Birthday Tomorrow Is My Born Day: I am still receiving gifts
Author Joseph Loga writes:
In 45 B.C., Julius Caesar ordered a calendar consisting of twelve months based on a solar year. This calendar employed a cycle of three years of 365 days, followed by a year of 366 days (leap year). When first implemented, the "Julian Calendar" also moved the beginning of the year from March 1 to January 1. However, following the fall of the Roman Empire in the fifth century, the new year was gradually realigned to coincide with Christian festivals until by the seventh century, Christmas Day marked the beginning of the new year in many countries.
Many people in 21th century have an habit of just following things... without putting their brain (a critical assessment) because such things have been there for a long time. For example, when we talk of "birthday" celebration. Some people still think birthday is a born day, but that is wrong.
Just as Julius Caesar was able to make a calendar, you can also do the same for your birthday. Mind you; you can't choose a born day but you can choose a day for your birthday.
According to my personal calendar, my birthday is 25 September and my Born Day is September 26. This serves as a notice that I celebrate my birthday on 25 September, and my Born Day on 26th. According to my personal calendar, on my Birthday I reflect on my life and personal goals but on my Born Day, I give thanks to God foror the gift of life; family and friends.
Today people from all over the world, when they saw on my status (state-us) update of wishing myself a happy birthday, they wrongly accommodated themselves into my personal calendar. However, I am being thankful for the best wishes, nice messages and gifts. My Born Day is tommorow; I will still accept gifts and a that!
To my surprise, unlike previous years, this year there no even one person from my family citing I am misleading people (my birthday is 26th September thus according to my birth certificate) instead, they all joined the masses... throwing nice messages and gifts to me. Thank you but I didn't need that today.
It is really important we all have to know and understand these terms "Birthday" "Born Day" before we make merry!
In a nutshell, people have one born day and more birthdays.
