Anyone else have a birthday on or in the same week as Christmas?
Mine is December 27th. And I tip my hat to my wife for making it a "birthday like" as possible. But those of us who have our Birthday during this time know exactly what it's like.
Cons:
Our birthday gifts are combined with Christmas gifts
Our birthday cake may very well be a left over fruit cake.
If your birthday falls AFTER the Christmas holiday (like mine) then everyone you know normally has a touch of the "post holiday blues" and doesn't feel like celebrating.
Its cold
Nobody rememebers it because it's to close to Christmas.
Pros:
You celebrate your Birthday during one of the most festive months of the year.
LOTS of candy! Candy candy candy galore!
AND leftover turket and ham dinners.
If may be combined with time your employer would have given you off anyway for the Christmas holiday, thus, you may get your birthday off with pay.
We can have egg nog on our birthday! How many people can say that?
My birthday this year was fine. My wife threw me a small party, my neighbor came over. We had my favorite dish lasagna, and chocolate cake. Then we talked for a while and played two games of yhatzee.
Since I had taken my tree and decorations down that morning, it actually felt like a regular birthday. Of course I didn't mind eating the left over mints and fudge candies from Christmas while playing our game.
