First off, HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my mom!
and to me!
I saw a while back on buzzfeed a post about why December birthday sucks.
While mine is still not super close to Christmas, it's still December plus I share it with my mom (Which sucks more for her). Here are some of the points I agree with:
- You get a combo present and card. One big birthday/Christmas present. If my birthday was in July you would get me a card for my birthday and a card for Christmas- same with presents. This was especially true before I got married too, our anniversary was December 23rd, so 3 presents (usually combined) instead of 3 dispersed throughout the year. Don't get me confused with being greedy though!
- I have to make list of what I want throughout the entire year.
- You get Christmas decorations for your birthday! AWW thanks! Just what I want!
- All my big celebrations come in one month, I have nothing to look forward to the rest of the year.
- You have to spend time with your extended family more than your friends. And if you can get a chance at having a party, a select few can make it. Damn Christmas parties! Again, you end up combining everything!
- Having a December birthday also meant that I always had finals around this time, and no one wants to get shit faced when they have an exam the next day.... or it's ill-advised too.
But, it's okay! You can't choose your birthday and I still feel absolutely special on the day!
