Happy Belated Birthday!
And yes...it has been a very busy time of the year...so don't feel bad...there wasn't a lot of people on YT at that time...but that doesn't mean we don't like you!!!
My Dad's birthday is the 31st...so he has the whole Christmas and then New Years....but he has never had his birthday combined w/ any of the holiday stuff....his family made sure of that when he was growing up...and we continue that today!
