My boyfriend's birthday is 12/24...it sucks because I feel like I have to spend twice as much, since it's two holidays, and that's a pretty big chunk of money to lose all at once.

I have always loved my December 11 birthday! It makes Dec. the best month ever, like one long holiday, even more so than it already is! And I've never been shafted for gifts;)

Its strange, I always see SOO many Dec 11 bdays, even just on this thread! I have 2 close friends born on the exact day/year as me!

LOL! My roommate is 12/11/80

My grandmother's birthday is Dec. 26th, and she has a twin sister.

I've always loved my birthday- Nov 11th. In elementary school we got it off in honor of Veterans, and I have perfected using birthday gift certificates and money to buy people Christmas gifts. It's awesome. One of my really close friends has a birthday on Dec 20th. Last year she left for Italy before Christmas, but this year I've gotten her two gifts.

Yeah, December birthdays do suck! Mine's 12/21...

People forget about it all the time because of the holiday rush. I've always been off from school which is nice, but in college with finals and everyone heading home, most people forget and it just slips by. Then there's the people who try to give one gift for both occasions (maybe that's a little selfish, but it still bothers me a little. lol) I don't work with college and all, and the bank account definitely starts getting a little low before the holidays.

Usually being on the Winter Solstice, I sometimes complain that my birthday is the "darkest day of the year", haha. How much does that suck!? Not a lot of sunlight, cold (back to NY in 3 days...), and quickly approaching.

I always wanted to have a cool pool party when I was little, instead I had to settle for "winter/christmas" themed parties where we made little Christmas crafts.

Well, Happy Birthday to all my fellow December babies!!

My one uncle was born on 12/24, my aunt on 12/25 and another uncle on 12/26 (all on my dad's side). I was born on 12/7, but I was 3 weeks early. We're Irish...St. Patrick's Day is 3/17...you do the math!

December Birthdays are sick and wrong!
 

I feel your pain! Mine is 12/28 (hence the screen name). By that time folx are to broke from Christmas to even think about your ass! :rolleyes:

I got the "put one present aside for your birthday" BS :rolleyes:
Yes the gifts were under the tree...in CHRISTMAS PAPER.

Mr. 1228 wanted to set our wedding date on 12/27 so he could do the one gift thang (Christmas, anniversary and birthday). I was NOT having that! We got married on 12/11/01
(The first 2 weeks of December were the cheapest time for family to travel)

Now the weird part:
My maternal grandfather passed away on Wednesday 12/28/49 at 10:15p
I was born many years later on 12/28 at 10:15p

I told Mr. 1228 that we are SO not having a December baby!

My mom was due with me on Christmas. But she said "no way in hell am I going to the hospital on Christmas!" (there were 2 other kids at home)

Of course i got stuck with being born on the anniversary of my maternal grandfather's death
