Answer :

It’s not weird to us, but weird to others who hear about it…we have a lot of deathday ‘celebrations’...in that each year we get together and have a big dinner and hoopla on each of the days one of our family members have passed…the only difference between these deathday celebrations and birthday celebrations is that we don’t clink the glasses when we toast
