Just a little thread for those of us who entered this world on a cold day in December. Mine’s not until December 6th, but I’ve always wanted to do a birthday thread.
Question: How many Decembies had their birthday squished into Christmas? Mine never was, but most others I know of were.
Mine’s Dec. 3rd. It’s far enough from Christmas that there’s never been too much squishing. But my Sister’s b-day is the 2nd, so we always had to share a birthday party while growing up.
I think that guy, Jesus, had a December birthday… I think. I read it somewhere.
Mine is today - Dec 1st.
Max and Nichol: Wishing you a good day, a good year and a good life.
Oh, Happy Birthday, all you Decembies!!
Mine is Dec 20th, I never get many Chrissie presents 'cos it’s to near Xmas itself.
I wish my Mum and Dad would have exercised a little more self control and planned it better
Well, seeing as my birthday is December 24th, it happens every year.
Mine is the 15th. I never had parties growing up until June 15th…on my 1/2 bday. More stuff to do with friends and usually ended up with the party at the cottage.
As a result, I got spoiled rotten on my birthday and usually took a couple of friends to McDonald Caboose, baby!
Since adulthood, my birthday and family christmas party is always the Sunday before my birthday, and the gifts are squished into one non-bday, non-christmas gifts.
I’m a last in line sorta guy, I was bron the last day of the year, the 31st.
You’re not that bloke I pitted are you M’lord…well you never know
Mine is Dec 1, too (hery, Khadaji!)
I’m the first-born son of parents named Joseph and Mary, born in December. But I don’t let it go to my head. Too much.
Mine is Dec. 8th, which is, unfortunately, a Monday this year. How does one have fun on a Monday birthday?
My birthday is the 22nd… If you figure out this monday birthday thing, could you let me know?

Mine is the 25th.
As a kid, there was nothing worse than having everyone packing up to leave after Christmas dinner, then one old aunt saying “Oh dear, it was your birthday today wasn’t it”. Yes, auntie, it WAS.
And, yes, it still happens. :rolleyes:
December 28, here.
And I’ve never actually had the squishing problem - in fact just the opposite - as a kid I’d ask for something really big, to combine the two, and then clean up on my b-day as the parents felt bad that I didn’t have any presents for my birthday as well
(okay, I milked it a little… 
)
And then as college and such came around, it turned into a solid week of partying: Xmas, B-day, New Years. Generally didn’t really sober up until Jan. 3rd or so…
Of course, there’s precious little time to party these days: work work work.
KTM
I’m with Pandora on the 22nd.
I’ve often got the combo gift. Now I don’t mind ('cause it usually means a cool BIG gift) but I hated it as a kid.
I’m the 13th. Same as Dick van Dyke and Ted Nugent :eek:
December 18 here.
I get the squishing thing from a few friends, but mainly my family keeps them seperate. Doesn’t matter to me, but if it’s a birthday present it better not have Christmas wrapping paper on it. I know it’s trivial but that kind of squishing annoys me.
18th here
I share a birthdate with:
Brad Pitt – I wish I looked anything like him, but, Jen, if you’re lurking, I’d really like to spend an evening with him sometime 
Steven Spielberg – I wish I had one iota of his talent.
Keith Richards – I’m probably most like him, though my drug of choice is food, and I’ve never burned down my house, though I did come close once :rolleyes:
And since I’m Jewish, Christmas was never a major problem, though people generally only remember I have a birthday after the fact. In my old age, that’s just fine
Happy Birthday, fellow Decemberins!
Yikes. December 1 already?! Whoops. :smack: I was busy typing up 26 pages of musical jokes for another message board, and worrying over a friend. After that, I was WAY too drained at 1:45 AM… in fact, I was going to do this sometime this afternoon.
Thanks for startng the thread, Nichol_storm.
