You answer all the questions about shadows, and someone calls it "gothic" instead of an exploration of moral grey areas.
Nope. Didn't miss my birthday. See, in my house the holidays last all the way through new years.
My brother's birthday kicks it off on the 15th. Then three days later my birthday follows his.
Then a week later -- the family Thanksgiving feast (where the relatives who didn't get to see us wish us a happy birthday and the occasional card/gift appears just to make it extra-festive).
Then it's only four weeks of build-up till Christmas, with Xmas music, shopping, candy, baking, Christmas movies, relatives, the people who combine our Xmas/Birthday presents (a small group, but it does work to extend our birthdays for another month). Then a holiday after that (usually spent skiing with Dad when we were kids), annnnnnnd... New Year's!
No possible way to miss my birthday. It's a huge target lasting roughly six weeks.
