Do u have a calender of the year u were born?

Hello there antiquelady No I don't, but I wish I could have one, maybe I'll just print out oneday. and I should not forgot to do this to my children in the near future. Good thing I have read this discussion on mylot. :D angellyril :D

Oh yes, I do have a calendar day of my birthday, all we 3 siblings have as my mom has kept that last time, I was so weird the first time she showed it to me i asked her why does she need to keep it then she told me is her souvinier so one day she can look back at all this and reminise those times. Now i do understand her, as i now like to keep a lot of memorable things which are important to me.

No but that would be sort of fun if it had all on that happened that year. mine would have to be 1940

No, I don't have one. Yes, I do find them interesting!!! There are numerous websites that give this information & I visit those as time allows. I did a discussion a good number of months back with a link to a website that told you the #1 song of the day you were born. I asked people to go & enter their birth date, find their song & come back to tell us their song of the day plus their memories of it. It was very interesting to hear the results. I then went to youtube & got the link to their song of the day so anyone reading could hear the song if they weren't familiar with it but was interested. There were a few who weren't familiar with their song of the day until they went to youtube & then they said oh yes, i remember... I really enjoyed that discussion!!! I also enjoy the site that tells the price of various items on your date of birth. It keeps the cost of goods in perspective. That was truly kind of your friend to take the time to find a calendar of your birth year. She/he is truly a friend!!!!

NO and this sounds wonderful. OI have ordered copies of a newspaper on th day that someone was born and given it to them. One newspaper in the U.K. offers this service at a hefty price but the people were so happy to see what was happening ion th world on the day that they were born. Great post!

yes, i printed one and had it pasted at the back of the very first calculator that i bought from my salary. i still have to find where that is now ... it should be sitting somewhere. i still can remember that i was born in the afternoon of wednesday on that date.

I was born in '52. So you're older than me Jo! Whodathunkit? LOL Anyway, I don't have a calendar for that year, but on my 21st birthday, my Dad gave me a series of scrapboks that began in 1952 and continued up until I was 21 full of pictures, adverts, news items and things like that for each year of my life, so that I could track the evolution of the world as well as my own life from the beginning of my life. What a great gift and a tradition I carried on for my own boys, as well as kept doing for myself. My, what a long way I and the world have come from those baby boomer days within the decade after the war.............

a calendar no, but my dad bought me a book with all kinds of interesting facts about people and things that happened that year (which happens to be 1958)...

I'm little bit confused by the meaning of calendar here. Is it normal calendar which we are writing about ? And if yes, I don't have one. =) I don't think it's necessary for us to have one. If we want to have something which reminds us about our childhood, I believe photos and diaries will be the best, instead of just plan calendar. =)

Wow this is a nice disussion bu I guess I never thought about that but like you said it sure would be nice to have one to show your grandchildren what things were like when you were born.You have given me a great idea and I think I may start seeking out a calender of my birth year

I had never thought of that is there a website you can go on to find one,good idea for a stocking filler or present.

Dearest Jo, Do you mean to say what was happening to the world while we were being born? Wars, of course, just like now. Only better or worse. We human beings are beasts. Even poor Lola is kinder than most of us. I have read lots of books about WW II and a few years ago I decided to stop. It was when I decided I was NOT going to see The Schindler´s list. From then on, I choose movies such as Pretty Woman. I have seen too much and my body is too painful and tired to take upon my shoulders more pain. But I do put the oldies to sing along with them. A couple of days ago I was cleaning and found this casette where Paul Anka sang. The car flew while I sang with him Crazy love and Diana. Hug!

i have a diary that my mum kept of the year i was born... really good and i cherish it with all of my photos of me when i was a child.. and will do same for my children and hoping they will be able to do the same aswell... lol you can get birthday cards with your birth year on and it has newspaper cuttings of headlines from that year... Really good! But if you don't want to emphasize your age... having the year and headings on the card mite not help too much!! lol :-D

I don't personally have one yet. but that will have to change. It's a really good idea I would be interested to see what was going on in the world when I was born haha.

I don't have one but a few years ago I got a birthday card with all the important info on it about what happened the year I was born....it was very interesting....and now that I am scrapping I found an informational page to put in each one of my grandkids' scrapbooks with everything that was interesting the year they were born...it's so much fun. I bet you are really enjoying yours!

Hi there ANTIQUELADY I don't have one no but I think I would like to. A lot happened the year I was born! Here in the UK you can also get hold of newpapers of the year you were born too by through a certain company but they are quite expensive. I was going to get one for my mum for her 60th birthday as I was getting together 60 things to put in a box, you may recall my discussion on it, but when I found out how much they were I decided not to. Instead I bought 3 cd's of the years me and my two brothers were born and I think they were more rememorable for her as she wouldn't have remembered anything from the day she was born but would from 1968, 1970 and 1971.

No but I think it would be neat to have one. I have known of some people that have saved newspapers for the day their children are born on. I think it would be pretty neat to have one of those too.

Hi Aunty, I don't have one but I remember as a child my Dad going under the floorboards for something and unearthing an old newspaper. You were born in a more interesting year though mid war.

I don't have a calendar of the year I was born, but I do buy the birthday cards quite often for my family and friends. They are available at centercoln.com, and cost about $3.00 (Cdn) plus shipping and handling. I find that they make really unique cards and people quite enjoy receiving them. The site also sells other things like commemorative coin sets, and stuff like that, but I have only ever purchased the cards. I have never noticed how far back in years they go, but I believe it is somewhere in the 1920's right up to the current year.

I do have made a scrap book on all my children. I got one calendar on one of them. with all the notations and what had happen on that particular day she was born. our local library used to have a calendar on the year i was born. had see it several years ago when doing a research work during my college days. i'm sure its still there.
