Seems a little bit late to be having this party.

Oh I personally don't mind. I don't use bluesky, so I didn't see this social media post from Kitfox until September.

Edit (I actually thought for more to say):
I am also not pretty not big on anniversaries. I haven't taken really taken too much interest in anniversaries so far for whatever reason. So I think that's why I am pretty lax and chillaxed when it comes to missing the anniversary date. It’s no biggie for me.

But at the same time, I guess it is worth trying to celebrate anniversaries. I would think holidays help create and solidify culture and tradition. Perhaps adding another layer to the mosaic that is culture.
Just because I find the anniversary to be whimsical at the moment doesn’t mean other people do not value the anniversary at a higher valuation.
