Dec. 31st, 2006 01:40 pmI had been expecting a nephew in about a month. (My expectation is as nothing, when compared to my sister-in-law's, or even my mother's.) Now it looks like my incipient nephew is working on becoming the last baby born in 2006, or perhaps the first baby born in 2007. I've been talking people down from the family worry-fest. The baby has to come out because his mother's blood pressure is too high, so everyone is fretting like mad in an attempt to share the high blood pressure...not that it helps any.
When I was little, I knew people who made a point of not celebrating the January 1 New Year. They said it was a Christian holiday, Saint Sylvester's Day, the feast of the circumcision. Jan 1 seems to have been so thoroughly secularized in the last 30 years or so that nobody even thinks about it as a religious thing anymore.
If a baby boy is born prematurely, does that generally mean they delay the bris? By how much? There's a strange gap in my knowledge, as the kids I love are all girls, so far.
