[00:01:13] belated happy birthday. It's not the birthday itself that was late. It's you that's late for saying it. I brought that to the attention of a friend of mine and she was like Who has time for that? It's at least it said
[00:01:28] You're late in saying it. I said well That may be true But it's still nice to know the proper way to say something The only reason I would be late for something just for saying it is if
[00:01:42] I'm not on I don't know about you, but I don't memorize everyone's birthdays and I'm not online every day. So if I Get online and I see a notification that someone is wishing someone Happy birthday
[00:01:58] Or happy belated happy birthday and no one says it. No one says belated happy birthday Everyone says happy belated birthday so now I know the correct way to say it but What does it mean to be belated and how do you feel when someone says

[00:03:30] What how how do I feel when something I don't like lateness at all like for any reason? I just don't Life happens. I get it but most people Don't plan ahead and they do things last minute Why would you?
[00:03:50] Tell someone happy be elated anything knowing that's not the correct way to say it Why would you be late in the first place because you did really play on the head? Right, I mean as adults we all know when Holidays are we all know the dates
[00:04:12] Now birthdays we may not I don't know about you, but I don't know everyone's birthday I know my close friends birthday, but I Don't know everyone's birthdays so but After one time of you being late you think you would take a note but Every year
[00:04:37] Someone wishes you something belated Okay, better late than never Yeah, okay, I Guess I guess but what about when it comes to gift giving is it better to Give a gift late Then not at all. I'm going to speak from Experience I Have never Given a late gift
[00:05:15] Never because once again, I know when everything is well in advance I Know when holidays are if I'm invited to something be it a birthday or An event you know when it is an advance. Yes life happens, but I tend to
[00:05:35] Get a gift soon after being invited to get it out of the way Christmas and birthday gifts I get those well in advance. I definitely get Christmas gifts a month or two in advance and birthday gifts
[00:05:53] Obviously if I know one is coming towards the end of the year I Get it. I get everything at least a month in advance at least So I can I can't say that I I
[00:06:10] Believe being someone who plans ahead. I can't say that I'm one who can co-sign Giving someone a late gift Have I ever gotten a late gift? I don't remember if I have or not as a kid because I had a lot of parties coming up
[00:06:31] Everyone pretty much showed up with something. I I Don't remember. Yeah, I can't recall. I know in my adulthood. I've never gotten a belated gift If I have it may have happened once and I for some reason I'm blocking it
[00:06:45] I don't remember but for the sake of this episode I'm going to say no But I was just thinking how I would feel as much as I love gift giving it being my love language How I would feel to not Give or get a gift on time especially
[00:07:06] My birthday it's coming but it's coming late, you know a lot of people are on the Two-week paycheck, you know once they get paid they'll get it But it's like when did you know about my birthday? How long have you known me? I? Just don't I don't
[00:07:25] Yeah, I just don't really do you X I mean of course I would accept a belated gift if I were to get one No, it's too late. Go ahead and keep it but I'm curious to know how my listeners feel about
[00:07:43] Belated gifts. Have you ever given a belated gift? Would you ever Give one have you gotten one? How do you feel about it? because Get the giving a gift is more about the receiver or at least it should be so
[00:08:05] Let me know at Dra's point of view at yahoo.com How do you feel about that? What's your stance on? giving late gifts and Will you start saying? Happy belated something the right way Or not even saying that not even saying having belated this or
[00:08:31] Belated happy that I hope your birthday went well. Sorry. I'm late. Did it or do you just give an explanation? And there are explanations to give I didn't go through that, but there are Different explanations to give when you give a late gift. I
[00:08:47] Don't know I don't want to I would want to know early. I would say that I'd want to know beforehand If you're gonna give a late gift, let me know why you're doing it in advance. I want to know something in advance
