December birthdays SUCK!
It sucks to have a birthday that's 5 days before Christmas.
Is anyone else part of this lonely club???

My Dad's birthday is 12/24. Wife's is 12/04.
Some good friends had a son on Christmas Day, so they celebrate his "half" birthday on June 25.

Tell me about it! 
My birthday is in late November, and sometimes coincides with Thanksgiving. (My 21st birthday was on Thanksgiving... no bar crawl for me ) My husband's birthday is in early December, and sometimes falls during Hanukkah.
My birthday celebration always got lumped in with Thanksgiving. It was good because the whole family was together, but I never really had my own day. We always had ice cream cake for Thanksgiving dessert. One year when I was 13 or so, I thought it would be nice to have a pie like most families do, so I asked for apple pie. Guess what I got... ice cream cake.
My parents and in-laws always make a point of getting us separate gifts for our birthdays and the holidays, unless we request otherwise. Other people, not so much... on a few occasions, we've gotten ONE gift intended for my birthday, my husband's birthday, and the holidays.

My birthday is on July 4th so my cake ALWAYS had a flag on it. But this year my mom got Disney princesses on it and next year for my 21st I told her not to bother with the cake since I doubt I'll be home in time to cut it.

My mom has tried so hard to keep my birthday seperate from Christmas. I've had numerous people pull the "here's your birthday AND Christmas present", even though my brothers would have seperate presents (their birthdays are in March and July). And on some years, my birthday is the first day of Hanukkah.
I don't even bother planning for my birthday anymore.

My daughter's birthday is Friday - she was due on Christmas Day. We always give her a present for her birthday as well as Christmas, so she won't feel shortchanged. This year it's a Color Video Now (pink!) and maybe take her and several friends to Andretti Thrill Park, and Christmas, it'll be a Gameboy plus other stuff.

My granddaddy's birthday was December 26th. The first time his birthday was even celebrated was when he turned 75.
I know a DZ from Bowling Green whose birthday is December 31. With her last name (Barie), she really should have been named Holly!! (Holly Barie?!)
