1 Picture 1 Story Week #102

Hello my friends,

This is my participation in the competition”1 Picture 1 Story Week #102 organized by RESPECTED @suboohi in SteemFor Pakistan

I've always made it a habit to participate in this contest, and I was confident it would continue. And the time I was waiting for finally arrived. A heartfelt thank you to my dear friends @elsa-queen and @ridwant for reminding me about this contest.

December 25th is not only Christmas but also my birthday. Previously, I used to celebrate my birthday with great fanfare, but this year, three people in our neighborhood passed away, so I decided to celebrate this birthday very simply.
That's why I didn't invite any friends, relatives, etc., to my birthday. Only my grandchildren insisted on getting a small, beautiful cake for me. My granddaughter is very fond of celebrating birthdays. I couldn't resist the children's insistence.

My daughter-in-law simply said, "Dad, I won't be working in the kitchen today," so we ordered ready-made food from Swiggy. Swiggy and Zomato services in our city deliver orders very quickly.

The children had me cut the cake to celebrate my birthday. After that, my son fed me a piece of cake, and my daughter-in-law wasn't going to be left behind; she also fed me a piece. In our house, the daughter-in-law is treated like a daughter, so there are no formalities or restrictions. And then we had dinner.

And just like that, another year of my life passed on my birthday, hahaha.

Although this contest is supposed to be about a story with one picture, this time I'm including a collage of four pictures so you can also see the celebration of my birthday.

**By the time you read my story, the new year 2026 will have already begun, so I wish all my Steemians friends a very Happy New Year 2026.

I also want to invite here @haidee @tammanna and @aviral123

With lots of love and respect,

Sur-riti❤️
