`Christmas Chlld

Skerries

so what was it like being born in December especially late December when it came to gifts?
Did you get 2 gift, one on your birthday and one on Christmass or did you get one "special" present?
and those that got 2 presents were they 2 small presents or big normal sized presents like your friends got?

My late brother was born on 23rd December and always seemed to miss out on his birthday. "Wait till you see the extra I'll get you for Christmas". Yes, right! He got the same as the rest of us.

The few christmas children I knew deserved extra presents due to the predictable names they were given. Christina, Christopher, Noel, etc

My husband's nephew's birthday is December 20th and his niece's son's birthday is December 30th, so we get hit for 2 birthday presents and 2 Christmas presents, I'd never skip giving them a birthday present. That being said, the nephew was 21 last year so it got a bit expensive.:D

TIGHT-ARSED blokes: Only date girls called Natalie, Carol, Holly or Eve. Chances are their birthday is around Christmas and you won't have to shell out for a present until then, by which time they will have chucked you.


Gotta love Viz !

My birthday is Christmas Day. Can't really remember it bothering me as a kid.

My birthday is December 30th. 'Oh we decided to get one big present for you instead of two small ones' .. Present would then be the same price/thought as everyone else's Christmas pressies

I was always so jealous of my family members whose birthdays are in the summer, they get presents every six months. Us December babies get cheated sometimes

My ex best friend's birthday was a few days off Christmas and I always made an effort to get her two nice presents. Unfortunately for me the effort or cost was never reciprocated. I mean one year she got me a book on feng shue. Feng fvcking shue.

We are no longer friends

Same here for me with a niece whose birthday is a week before Christmas and a nephew whose birthday is a week after, (New Year's Eve). We've always given them two separate presents. In her case, she opened them a week late, on Christmas Day, after all the Christmas presents had been opened, and he opened his a week early, Christmas Day, at the same time.

Got only one present (my birthday is Nov. 30th), bit of a killjoy as a child.

Bit stingy when your birthday isn't even in December! My sister's birthday is at the beginning of December and shes always gotten two sets of presents from everybody.

Birthday is Christmas Day - think it's better to be on the actual day than around it as more of a novelty. Nobody ever forgot and always got 2 presents off people with seperate Christmas &birthday cards. Would always have a birthday tea on Christmas night too

Family of 6 kids my man.

It's a big rip off is what it is. I never got off homework for my birthday growing up.
"This present is for your birthday and Christmas" was all I ever heard.
To make matters worse, I hate Christmas!

My ex's birthday was around Christmas and she never shut up about it.









Maybe I should have bought her something other than a Hoover.

You and my ex would go well together, I got a toaster and car mats one year. I didn't eat toast, and I didn't need car mats :mad:

You'd think an epilator would be more appropriate.

I wss/am one.

It's pretty crap.

You always got welshed for presents as a kid and generally your birthday kinda gets lost in the festive melee.

Even these days, you end up seeing only a few people for your birthday cos so many are understandably away, hungover or tied up.
