Tomorrow as you know is
Easter. It is also my birthday. This will be the first time in my lifetime when Easter will fall on my birthday. I might be wrong, but from memory it will be the first time. That said, that Easter comes
around the time of my birthday is nothing new. In fact, I remember that my parents often celebrated my birthday on Easter Sunday. As a child, I confused both days, sometimes thinking that I was born on Easter. So I have a few memories of mixing both days into one celebration: Easter related birthday presents, religiously themed birthday presents (I was once a devout Catholic child), birthday cakes that have the shape of giant eggs or rabbits, etc. I will try to blog about some of these memories in the future. What strikes me is that I don't remember feeling short changed: I enjoyed this kind of birthday, it made me feel special.

Happy Birthday! Bonne Fete! I hope the day is extra-special for you!
Effectivement, la dernière fois où Pâques est tombée un 21 avril, c'était en 1957, mais la prochaine fois c'est en 2030. Il y a des sous-cycles de 11 ans suivis de disettes, si on peut nommer cela ainsi.
happy birthday! my birthday is tuesday so i associate easter with my birthday too.
Bonne fête en retard! Il me semble qu'avoir sa fête à Pâques doit être mieux qu'à Noël... avec tout ce chocolat :-)
