Just found out that my husband..

[yuletide]

is having a Christmas in July 40th birthday party for me on july 19th. My actual birthday is July22, but wow! I can't believe it. he did an invitation with a melting snowman that invited people. I feel like I should show up dressed like an elf or something. I'm a little freaked out about turning 40. But, what the heck... right?

Congrats on your party that is being plan. :tree:

[Annette1990]

Sounds like a great time...and remember you are as old as you feel. So live it up and have a great time!

[irishgirl]

Was it suppose to be a suprise party? I think it is so sweet that he is not only have a party for you but including your love of the holiday season!! You have yourself one heck of a husband!!!

Don't worry about turning 40! It is just a number and you stay in the same "age" bracket if you know what I mean.. please check what applies 18-34 or 35-54 (35 was my hiccup.. I didn't want to change age brackets)

So sit back, smile and and enjoy!!!! ( and Happy Birthday)

[Minta]

How Sweet! Relax and have fun!

[AuntieMistletoeDear]

cheesy That's great news, Yuletide! If it's supposed to be a surprise, don't let on that you found out - keep it going.

Hope you have a great time.

40 wasn't as hard as 44, do what I did - start counting backwards.

cheesy Soon, I'll be 22 again!

Have fun! They pulled off a 50th surprise for me this year. It was in April and my birthday was May 9th. I was so out of it all....clueless. But, I have to tell you that at 50, I feel better than I did at 40. Enjoy your party!!! :razz:

[DoubleA]

I am sure that your party will be great. Enjoy yourself! As hot as it is, you may have to trade the elf suit for a swim suit!

It shouldn't bother me - but, it does a little.
oh well,
Yule

[christmascreations]

You are sooo lucky!!!!

[CallMeMommy]

It shouldn't bother me - but, it does a little.

Yule
Don't let it bother you, you're only thirty-ten after all. You have another ten years until you are in your real forties!

[Sweet_Pea1992]

Don't sweat the small stuff, Yule!! Have a grand day and enjoy it to the fullest!
Be sure to let us know how things go at your party, will you?
You have many wonderful years ahead of you!!:rudolph:

[debkeversole]

wowza! what a wonderful husband! think he could put a buzz in my DH's ear???i'll be 41 my next b'day though!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!:rudolph:

[starflake]

Aww that's so sweet of him.

It's not only thirty-ten, it's twenty-twenty. You'll gain so much wisdom from hindsight vision.

I hope you have a lovely time. :)

[Sweet_Pea1992]

Very well said, starflake!!cheesy

[Laney]

Oh how fun!!! I hope you have a great birthday!!

[Maureen]

I found 30 WAY worse than 40. What's that saying...???

"You're not getting older, you're getting better"!!!!!!!

The only thing I find I can't do anymore is cartwheels, which isn't that big a deal. When I'm doing a wedding, it's really not expected for the Registrar to come bounding down the aisle a la Olga Korbet!!!!!!

Word of warning - IF you do decide to try a cartwheel, remember those cartoons where Sylvester or Coyote get hit over the head and they see little birds and stars floating around??? They actually happen!!!!

[katcole1]

First, happy early birthday!!!! :dance:
How was the party??? Did you have an absolutely wonderful time? And what a super sweet guy to do that for you!!!!

Again, happy birthday!

[yuletide]

check out my post - i put a new thread up about it - all was so great - i almost started crying with everyone singing happy birthday. My Dad died a year ago and I really wanted him to be there. I just miss him so much and I sort of always knew that he wouldn't make it till July 2008. I know he was watching over me when I blew out my candles on my goofy Santa Claus cake. He always thought my Christmas obsession was crazy - yet he loved it almost as much as me.
Everyone was so kind. It's nice to see people care about you...it's easy to lose track of that sometimes.
Yule

[christmasmommy]

What a wonderful thing to do!

[Scrappin Not Nappin]

Hope it was wonderful! 40 was the greatest year in my life.

[SparkleNana]

Thank you for sharing that with us, Yuletide! And for reminding us how nice it does feel when people show they care about us. Maybe I can do a little more in the way of showing that care. :nice:

[yuletide]

I have tried to post photos here and for some reason it just wouldn't work. Soooo, I have a facebook page now and if anyone wants they can go there and look up Aliza McVicker and request to be a "friend" and then you can see everything about the party and me.
Thanks for all the great birthday wishes!
