HM : Birthday

Saya’s birthday is December 30
Saya’s father observed his birthday by taking eight precepts.
Saya also followed the tradition until his health required taking medicine in the morning, afternoon, evening and night.

Some (Saya U Ba Than and his son, Daw Saw Yu Tint) pledged Annual Birthday Soon kyway at a specified monastery.

Before the pandemic, Saya invited former colleagues and students to his Birthday Soon Kwyay on October 2nd at Yaw Sayadaw’s Kyaung.

His son (Ko Ye Than, Winner Inn) would celebrate the birthday on January 1 at Shwe Taung Gone Panditarama.

I am not sure how people born on February 29 celebrate.
Do they celebrate once every four years?
Do they celebrate on February 28 or March 2?
U Ngwe Soe wrote : For the Burmese, they can celebrate using the Burmese Calendar.
Most twins share the birthday, but in some exceptional cases, their birthdays differ.
The day, month or even the year may be different.
Recently one twin was born near midnight on December 31, 2021 and another was born in the early hour of January 1, 2020.
The odds were 1 in two million births.
Some companies and communities celebrate birthdays collectively.
e.g those born in a specified month.
Some Oldies do not know the date of birth and/or the time of birth (needed for natal horoscopes).
Some were told by the elders that they were born at “Soon Khan Chein”, “Nay Htunn Ta Phyar”, or “Kon Tin Thin Baw Site”.
A few sense Samvegha that one more year has passed.
Some review their merits and demerits for the year since their last birthday.
Some parents celebrate monthly or quarterly when their toddlers are young and innocent.
Alice (Saw Yu Tint)’s grandson asked for half-year birthday present.
Some oldies forgot to wish their loved ones.
Blame it on Aging and Memory Loss.

In a group of 30+ people, it is highly likely that at least a pair will have the same birth month and day (but not the year).
Some may refresh their “Probability and Statistics” knowledge.
It will take a few thousand of people (not including twins) to have a pair that have the exact birthday (year, month, day).
