If you have a December birthday, like myself, then you know the ultimate struggles that come along with it.

You hear “ Must be tough having a birthday so close to Christmas? “ EVERY time the topic of birthdays comes up.

You can’t stand combination presents… 2 occasions, 2 presents, end of story.

You can’t compete with the lord and savior of Christianity’s birth.

The Christmas dessert table probably involves a birthday cake of sorts.

11 months straight of no presents.

Then, you’re completely overwhelmed when people start asking what you want, twice.

As the busiest time of year, it’s impossible to find a date that works for everyone.

Your birthday presents have Santa Clause on the wrapping paper.

Your birthday will be forgotten if you don’t emphasize it, causing you to come off as attention hungry and self-centered.

Everyone watches you open your presents, but then you have to watch THEM open THEIR presents.

Your birthday money is basically just a reimbursement of the money you had to spend on other people.

You know you wouldn't change the your birthday for the world.
