Ice cream cake is good. Since my birthday is around Thanksgiving, though, my preferred celebratory desert is Dutch apple pie. Strawberry pie in the summer rules, too.
Yeah, I’ve known a couple people with Christmas birthdays. Don’t envy them. I was always a fan of my birthday landing on or next to Thanksgiving ‘cause that meant having no school that day. Which, my family for most birthdays would plan the celebration on a Sunday, so not a big deal, but still neat. Even in adulthood, I often get birthdays off to chill or get some Black Friday deals for myself or whatever.
I’m 12/31, and generally got combined birthday/Christmas presents to help ease the finances for my parents
“Is the Carvel Ice Cream Cake ready for little Jimmy’s birthday?” “Not yet, I need to throw it in the oven for a few minutes first.”
Cold water & room temp water have very different benefits. I prefer cold water the majority of the time, but I know more room temperature drinking water can be good in certain contexts.
