Wow Hive account@thunderbirdcomic that is exactly spot on! I think many people are undergoing a fundamental shift in the way we live and what's truly important. I totally understand about Birthdays and Christmas, both of which recently passed and I asked for nothing. I did get 'things' on Christmas, most of which I've barely touched (but thankful for the gesture) and for my birthday I got nothing and was totally content. Just to have my family with me is enough.
