No Birthday Shindigs For Olympia
Sadly for Olympia, she won’t get to enjoy birthday parties and all the treats that come with it. When she turned one in September 2018, her parents didn’t host an elaborate party for her as most people expected. Serena explained that her daughter won’t be celebrating her birthdays.
Serena and her family are Jehovah’s Witnesses, and their religion doesn’t believe in celebrating holidays like Easter, Christmas, and birthdays. The religion views celebrating these occasions as something that displeases God and rather, every day should be celebrated without having favorite days set aside. We want to believe that they still give Olympia Christmas gifts or at least allow her to keep the ones she gets from relatives.
