I was born on December 23, my mother brought me home from the hospital on Christmas Day, so I feel like I'm kind of an expert when it comes to the struggles of being a 'Christmas baby.' I'm sure the rest of you December-born kids can relate to my top three things December babies have to deal with.
1.) The Combined Gifts
If I hear the phrase 'this is your Christmas and birthday' one more time, I am finding a way to legally change my date of birth. I understand that people have Christmas presents to buy for everyone else during the holidays, but seriously, buy me a candy bar for goodness sake, as long as it's solely a birthday gift.
2) Duel Parties
This is probably more of a struggle for people like me who are riding the tail end of Christmas, but I kind of feel like it's an insult to both me and Jesus when you combine our birthdays together. Obviously Christmas is super important to celebrate but just have our or December parties early. Plus, combines Christmas/birthdays are prime opportunity for combining presents.
3.) Having to Wait All Year for Your Birthday
Summer babies, I envy you. You get gifts at the end of the year, and in the middle. You people are living the life.
Now there are a few perks to being born in the most wonderful time of the year. The fact that it's the most wonderful time of the year being one of them. Here are a few more.
1.) All the Gifts!
Providing, of course, that your family and friends don't try to pull of that whole combined presents nonsense, us December kids essentially roll in the goodies during our birth month. I personally, have three days in a row of pure gift hauling. Shout out to Jesus for making our birthdays so close together.
2.) The Festive Decorations
Maybe it's because I was born so close to Christmas, but I genuinely think it's the most wonderful time of the year, and the fact that seemingly the whole world comes together to decorate for the holiday makes me all warm and fuzzy inside.
3.) The Celebrations
I mean, you have your birthday and Christmas and New Years to look forward to, all in the same month. What more could you ask for?
Despite it's struggles, i wouldn't want my birthday on any other day. Thanks for reading!
