5 Truths Of Having A Birthday That Falls On Thanksgiving

I know having a birthday on Thanksgiving every once in while isn't as bad as having a birthday that falls on Christmas every single year, but I'm still going to complain. It only falls on the fourth Thursday once every few years, but it's still a nuisance because it's just close enough to feel the effects of it. So, fellow Scorpio/Sagittarius peeps, let's rejoice in the uniqueness of our birthdays.

1. You *Almost* Never Had To Go To School On Your Birthday

Thanksgiving break and your birthday always matched up, so that even if your birthday wasn't on Thanksgiving, you still weren't taking an AP Macroeconomics test on your birthday.

2. Not Many People Came To Your Birthday Parties

Everyone was either away for the holidays or still in town, but spending the holidays with church and family. So, your birthday was spent partying it up with your family and eating good food.

3. You Have A Say In The Thanksgiving Menu 

Do you love chicken liver dressing that only sometimes gets made? Well, now's the time to cash in on the birthday advantage of requesting that Mama make that special dish you love.

4. Unconventional Birthday Cakes Are Something You're Used To

Sometimes you got that classic birthday cake, whether it was a cookie cake or the OG thing; however, it was not unheard of for your "birthday cake" to be a couple candles stuck into a sweet potato casserole.

5. Combination Gifts

Your birthday is a little too close to Christmas for some people, so you probably get a lot of gifts that's supposed to count as Christmas and birthday presents. Even if it's just a pair of slipper socks.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
