Anyone here have a birthday near Christmas?

Do you get screwn?

1. December 27th. Mom and Dad made sure that nothing happened on the 26th to separate the days.

But, I usually didn't get a big birthday party because so many people were out of town.

2. My Dad's is Dec. 24th.

X-mas eve.

We've always tried to make it special for him.

3. My sister's birthday is Christmas Eve. She has always gotten screwn.

My mother has always made sure she didn't get screwn by the family, though. :)

My husband's birthday is Jan. 17, and he seems to have gotten screwn a lot in the past. :(

4. Jan. 2--totally screwn

By then, everyone's sick of parties, presents, and sweets, so they just roll their eyes when my birthday comes around. Attending my birthday party is more a chore than anything else.

Plus I've always gotten 3,000 sweaters and pairs of slippers. Never have received summer clothes or a SuperSoaker as a gift--what are summer birthdays like? :(

5. My daughter's is Dec. 21

We try not to cheat her, but it's hard. Worst part is, car insurance comes in now too, so everybody gets screwn one way or another.



On top of that, this is her Sweet Sixteen. Pity me.

6. My lil' brother b-day is Dec 25

He is luckiest because his birthday is the only one my parents remember. He get tons of stuff and he is the youngest and the only boy out 6 girls.

7. My b-day is the 23rd of Dec.

and I never thinking I'm getting screwn at the time because when I was little I'd get presents three days in a row, which was cool. But come the summer when my sister, mother, and father, have their birthdays, I was feeling pretty screwn!

8. My youngest's was the 14th

I think she was due around the 24th. She was a scheduled c-section, not because of the timing issue, but because I already had two emergency c-sections before her.

She does get screwn a bit. Especially when you only see some family during the holidays so they give her both x-mas and birthday presents at the same time (both wrapped in x-mas paper). This year, it was a bit better. We had a party this past Saturday for her. We will be visiting my family next week, so it was totally separate this time. Although I'm sure she will be getting some more b-day presents while we are there.
