Mine is on the 19th! People used to squish it with holiday presents… but then I remember one year, I threw the biggest tantrum, and the closer relatives don’t do it anymore 😃 ---

I’m the 10th. Mucho squashing. And people getting pissed off at me because _THEY_ missed my birthday. “_Well, it’s **YOUR** fault for being born in December!_” Uh huh. ---

Yeah, getting a gift wrapped in Christmas paper kind of pisses me off, too. Hmm. I’m not on the list, either. How does one get on it? Where are you pulling the info from? (obviously not from my handle! :D) ---

I’m with **Nichol\_storm** on the 6th. Appropriately enough, it was the 2nd Sunday of Advent at the time. Sono ue de, Nihongo romaji de, “Minna-sama, otanjoobi ni omedetoo gozaimasu!” [On top of that, in romanized Japanese, “Happy birthday everyone!”] CJ Gaijin twice over ---

And Emily Dickinson & Susan Dey. Oddly, my familia never contracted the two. They saved that for my mom’s whose was on 12/28. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by 7 up yours \* > \*\*Mine is on the 19th! > \*\* Mine too! It never bothered me that much, since **everyone** in my family also has a December birthday (March is a slow time of year, I guess), nobody got forgotten. Now that I have to do the gift shopping as well, I’m grateful that I only have to do this once a year. ---

Me and **Chavardz** and **twickster** all seem to share the 31st. To top it off, **twickster** and I were born on the very same day. Ahem. You’ll have to do your own research to find out when that was. Just remember, the best ten years of a woman’s life are those between thirty-nine and forty. The standing joke in my family is that my Dad wanted me to come before midnight, so that I would be a tax decuction for the whole year. I almost disappointed him, being born at 10:16 PM. I always got two presents, and actually liked having the two days close together. It made me feel like I was getting more loot than my sisters. Jeez, what a monster I was. ---

Yay! I made the list! My birthday is on the twelfth. I was lucky to have a mother that always went all out for birthdays (my brother’s is on the 30th). We never received gifts wrapped in Christmas paper. Only distant relatives sent “birthday/christmas” presents. The holidays were incorporated into my birthday somewhat though. We always decorated our Christmas tree that evening, even when I got older. ---

Jeez, what a monster I was. \*\* Another one for the 31st. I made my dad really sweat the tax deduction out; I was born fifteen minutes before midnight. ---

Mine’s the 25th. I got lots of combined bithday/Christmas gifts as a kid, but not so much as an adult. I also share a birthday with one of my sisters, which made the day even more crowded. ---

To anyone who’s saying they’re not on my list: I should have clarified and said that the list only included those who hadn’t posted as of the time I began composing my post. (did that make sense? :D) So since a few of you had posted at the time that I began writing my blurb, you aren’t on the list. Sorry about that… but you would have been, had I remembered last night to do this thread. The reason **Yapioca Dextrain** is on the list, yet his post appears before mine? Simple. He posted whilst I was writing. 🙂 **Max\_Castle** : You weren’t on my list when I posted that, but you are now! Better now? 😃 **Baker** : Don’t worry… they WILL have to do their own research. 😉 I’m not telling them a thing. **scout1222** : I’m pulling this information from various birthday threads we’ve had around here. Good enough for you? 😃 F\_X ---
