Unique Gift
Provided you plan ahead (6 weeks), you can get a unique gift, of sorts, from our government. Courtesy of The White House Greetings Office, personalized greetings are available for such events as:
1) ANNIVERSARY GREETINGS. Anniversary greetings are extended only to those couples who are celebrating their 50th (and subsequent) wedding anniversary.
2) BIRTHDAY GREETINGS. Birthday greetings will be sent only to individuals 80 years of age and above.
3) OTHER GREETINGS. A limited number of special occasions other than birthdays and anniversaries exist for which the Greetings Office will send appropriate recognition to United States citizens. These occasions include important events such as:
-Wedding (send your request after the event)
-Baby's Birth (must be born during the George W. Bush Administration; send request only after baby's birth)
-Eagle Scout Award
-Girl Scout Gold Award
-Bar/Bat Mitzvah or equivalent occasion
It's interesting how the coming of age event listed is the Jewish one.
