Did it ever bother you?
My birthday (June 19th) has fallen on Father's Day several times in my existance and I HATE it every single time. It used to piss me off (honestly still does lol) when we'd do something for Father's day, and no one (except my mom & dad) would say Happy Birthday, or ask me what I would like to do. I understand that Father's Day falls once a year, but so does my birthday.

Ohhhhh yes. My parents always acknowledged my birthday, but it sometimes felt like my birthday fell on the fourth Thursday of November whether it was my actual birthday or not. Still, at least I didn't get the "this gift is for your birthday AND Christmas" nonsense.
DH is a holiday-season baby too - his birthday is five days after mine. He and I make a point of celebrating each occasion separately - Thanksgiving, then my birthday, then his birthday, then Hanukkah, then Christmas.

My favorite holiday memories:
*Getting the Barbie Manhattan Dream house (you know, the one with the elevator) when I was little. I was SO excited because my mom and dad had been telling me for months that the local toy store was sold out, so I thought I wasn't getting one.
*Spending last Christmas in South Beach with my Dad. That was so much fun.
*Coming home from my South Beach vacation to my NEW baby nephew.

Slight hijack. We have the same birthday!
And it always SUCKED when I couldn't do things on my birthday because it was 'Father's Day' and people were spending time with their Dads. My family tried to combine Father's Day and my family birthday party together when I was little--and I hated having to share my cake. It's a BIRTHDAY cake folks; not a Father's Day/Birthday combo!

No way! That's my birthday too. How funny! Although, I celebrate my birthday for at least a month, and my 30th was celebrated for 3 months. *lol*
Ok I'm finished hijacking the hijack.
