Anyone with a December birthday, otherwise known as “December Babies,” continually get asked the same questions every year. It’s like some tape recorder goes off in people’s head every time I say my birthday is in December. I get asked the same questions every single time, I might as well start answering the questions before they even attempt to ask them. People just get so amazed by “December Babies” like we are some sort of rare breed. So my fellow December birthdays, for those whose birthdays have already come and those who still await their big day, we can all relate to these yearly repetitive questions:

1. Do you get double the presents?

I mean sometimes. For me presents are not a big deal, so even if I get a dual present I wouldn’t care. Honestly, I probably wouldn’t notice. My parents, however, make sure I have a clear separation between birthday and Christmas presents so I don’t feel bad.

2. Do people forget to give you presents?

I don’t think so.

3. Do people forget your birthday?

Not usually. I think since my birthday is so close to Christmas more people actually remember.

4. Do you celebrate your birthday?

Do you celebrate your birthday? Of course I celebrate my birthday. What kind of question is that?

5. How does it feel to have a birthday so close to Christmas?

I like having a birthday so close to my favorite holiday. It is just a fun time in my household because we are just celebrating for pretty much a week straight.

6. Were you your parents’ Christmas present?

More like their Christmas nightmare, but it’s all about perspective.

7.So you were a Christmas baby?
