christmas birthdays

My husband's birthday is at Christmas time. He grew up with the joint present and wrapped in Christmas paper. I told him that it was his day and would be treated as such, so he gets a seperate gift and only once did it did wrapped in the wrong paper as I hadn't a large enough piece and I apologised. We go out to mark it as well.

I have a relative with a Christmas Eve birthday whose mother even used to forget!

I'm boxing day and absolutely love it. I've always had seperate presents and never felt like I've missed out at all.

I make sure my hubby and daughter remember to get my birthday card early December before all the good ones disappear for Christmas cards though.

Once my brother wrapped my birthday present in Christmas paper, so I did the same with his in June and he's never done it since :rotfl:

I love it though, I love December, the season, everything about it. My daughter's birthday is May and hubby is in July, so we have fabulous birthdays in the year, and I love mine just where it is. And this year I'm 40!!!!

I'm on christmas day and I hate it. Being a nurse, we are not allowed to request christmas day off and have worked on loads of my birthdays. Hate the joint presents, my mum is the only one who gets me birthday paper, can't just nip out for a nice meal or drink and forget trying to organise a party for special birthdays. Even my name was chosen because it's christmassy. I think parents should be banned from having sex in March!

My dd1 is 9 days before christmas. She wasnt supposed to be... I had it nicely planned for the 10th march but miss decided she'd had enough at 27 weeks lol. Anyway, never joint pressies and we always try do something nice. The up side is there qre so many great deals on toys etc at chrimbo. I get much more for my money than for dd2s birthday in august!

One of the kids I used to look after was born on 26thDecember. She always had a birthday cake and a family party with immediate family presents and then an 'official' birthday on 26th June when she had the more normal friends party and presents from everyone. She loved it!

My eldest is 29th December & his brother is 2 weeks later. The only problem we had when DS1 was growing up was trying to book a birthday party during the school Christmas holidays & then trying to round up people to come! Half the time his friends would forget, what with all the celebrations going on in their own homes. Now he's an adult it's fine - we go out to dinner & as it's the holidays his siblings are all home (2 are away at uni usually). We give the boys money for their birthdays so they don't get 2-in-1 pressies :-)

This is a really interesting thread- bit worried now though coz my first was due to be born yesterday but is currently showing no sign of budging anytime soon though! Def wanted them out long before Xmas to avoidsome of the things discussed here...(so hurry up little !!!!!!!)


My birthday's 11th, I was never really that bothered by it, except when I got a bit older and most of my friends were having beach parties and BBQs at their b'days.


Hey ho. I always was more of a Christmas person anyways 😉

Sister -in-law is a Christmas-Eve-baby...and gets a little bit miffed if she doesn't get 2 cards and 2 presents, one for Christmas and one for Birthday.


My 'baby' sister was born a few days after Christmas. As a child Mum made sure both days - including presents - were kept distinct and separate......It is MUCH easier now that she is grown up with a family of her own....I buy her a present that she wants for Christmas - and at her request she gets a gift-voucher for her birthday and gets double-value for it (or more) by using it in the January Sales!
