For all you December birthday's out there, we can all agree that there are pros and cons of having such a cold birthday. Here is a list of things that suck about having a December birthday.

1. Everyone has their minds set on Christmas.

2. People think it's okay to combine your Christmas AND birthday gift??

You have to be kidding.

3. You can always count on at least ONE person to combine your Christmas and birthday gift.

4. Especially in college, everyone is studying for finals and don't have time to celebrate with you.

5. Or everyone has prior commitments to go to holiday parties instead of your birthday party.

6. Everyone has already spent all their money on Christmas presents and they can't afford to buy you a birthday gift.

7. It's always horrible weather on your birthday.

Or, if you live in Michigan, you can never know what the weather is going to be like because it's so unexpected.

8. People always forget your birthday because they're always thinking about Christmas.

9. You can't get a "Happy Birthday!" without getting asked about Christmas plans.

10. It's always hard to get all your friends to come out to the bars with you because they're all studying for finals or celebrating Christmas.

11. (Either pro OR con) Your birthday is surrounded by Christmas decorations.

No I don't want Mistletoe over my head when I'm blowing out my birthday candles.

12. [This happened to me once] Getting associated with Jesus because you "share the same birthday month."

Okay sorry man, but my birthday is MY day and you have YOUR own. Let's just keep the celebrations separate. I don't combine birthday parties anymore.

13. Why celebrate Christmas when everyone should just celebrate your birth anyway??

My life is the real present.

Now don't get me wrong, I love Christmas and I love having a December birthday but some of you have to agree that this happens to you sometimes.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

It is no secret that many American traditions have changed over time. As we grow older we change in so many ways that it only makes sense that we also change the way we celebrate special occasions. Of course when it comes to the holidays there are some family traditions that many of us still excitedly look forward to, whether it is eating your favorite dish or seeing favorite cousin. However, we all know that the holidays have overall changed a little from what they used to be.
