Purim Katan is this Wednesday. The Shulchan Aruch says, "a person should increase somewhat in festivity, in order to fulfill his duty according to the opinion that it is obligatory.

motheroftwo- does it happen to you that people are so confused when youre bday is that you dont even expect them to remember? I dont expect my friends to remember- theyll probably call me in a month on Purim!

my father's bday is on Purim. he said his mother went into labor right after megillah reading.
at least RG's and motherof2's mother's didn't have to worry about bar mitzvah's 4 weeks before pesach!
