"When Nell had her birthday, her whole house was buzzin’
with family and neighbors and friends by the dozen.
She opened her presents, ate ice cream and cake,
and thought of the one special wish she would make.
That night, she asked, “When’ll my birthday come back?”
“The holidays,” Mom said, “will help you keep track...""

Nell is confused over which holidays come next. She can't wait until her birthday and is too young to understand the calendar. Her mom helps her wait by celebrating the holidays that will circle back to her birthday, Spring 2006.
