Most likely, that is because he was born on Christmas and if he didn't celebrate the halves, he would get gipped on his birthday presents. People are all the time giving him stuff and saying, "Oh, this is for Xmas and your birthday."<BR/><BR/>Happy half-birthday!Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06180252925063479428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11674728.post-1134674016494699982005-12-16T06:13:00.000+11:002005-12-16T06:13:00.000+11:00Yeah, Christine, that's pretty dumb.
