[ Maia wonders what kind of a life would lead a young child not to know her own birthday, and to never have celebrated it. His own celebrations had stopped when he was nine, and his mother died, but he had had the years before that, and knew the date. ]
I think you have chosen well. May I offer a small suggestion? You should also decide one day of the month, to be even more special than all the others. There are holidays like this, in my homeland. Winternight is celebrated for a full week, leading to a fancy ball on the last night, which is the longest of the year. It can be great fun, when there is just one day that is the jewel, above all the rest.
