"I know some of you are sitting there thinking, &amp;quot;Well Shelby it can&amp;#039;t be THAT bad, I mean, you must get SO many presents, right?!&amp;quot; NO. Since everyone just finished buying Chirstmas presents, people are worn out on gift shopping by the time the 28th rolls around. Some of them will say &amp;quot;Well...I just got you something for Christmas so its okay!&amp;quot; Wrong again, birthday-buzz-killer! Now I have to wait a whole year until I can get a gift?! Nay. That is why when I called my friends to invite them over for a night of s&amp;#039;mores, bonfire, and general madness, I made sure to say &amp;quot;Want to come over for my birthday?!&amp;quot; I think they took the hint because they all pretty much gave me the gift that keeps on giving-a Starbucks gift card! Also, people are trying to rest up the days leading up to New Years Eve to stay up all night, so getting people together to   celebrate is usually rough! But this year I got the most genius of all genius ideas - celebrate my birthday on New Year&amp;#039;s Eve so everybody would want to go crazy! And that&amp;#039;s just what happened, with the addition of cookie cake, marshmallow cooking emergencies, and the madness that always ensues during the biggest party of the year. Yes, it was a glorious time, and a great time to show the &amp;quot;holiday date makers&amp;quot; who knows how to partay! "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
