Mine’s on the 5th–and I share that with Strom Thurmond and Little Richard (the dichotomy of that really appeals to me 🙂 ) Mine is too far away from Christmas to really do the combo gift without looking like a cheap ass. My sister’s was on the 30th, though, and she got combo gifts all the time. I am guilty of using Christmas paper to wrap birthday presents–because that’s all I usually have left over. I did it to my cousin on her birthday, but it was in July so I’m not sure it counts. ---

The 19th checking in here! I almost always get combo gifts, Birthday/Christmas cards, and if I DO get a bday present, it is almost always wrapped in Christmas paper. YUCK. My fiance’s is the 18th, so he can understand and he will usually try to do something nice. We go out to dinner and do the singing thing… Have a cake… Wrapping paper with BALLOONS. Anything to make it birthday-like. Happy Birthday All! ---

I already knew I shared a birthdate with **Baker** and **twickster** and I am delighted to share with **Chavardz** too. Two of my online friends from another forum also share the date, but - I have never, _in person_, met ANYONE who had the same birthday. You’d think that in nearly 39 years it would have happened once, wouldn’t you?? ---

I’m on the 12th and Cajunman is the 13th. I remember from last year and the fact that we just discussed it the other day cause we were supposed to meet last year for his birthday. Lumped together with Christmas and sisters birthday on the first on our fathers side of the family. Of course that also meant he only picked us up one time during the month too. This year I got myself Pirates of the Caribean and two whole bags of mint M&M’s! Happy Birthday to you all. May it be a good one this year! ---

I’m 28 on the 7th (“a day that will live in infamy” and all that). Happy birthday to all the other December SDMBers. ---

**Susan** – I can’t reveal my own age, since my twin, **Baker** is apparently sensitive about it – but I can say my memories of turning 30 are well in the past. Start 50 down the throat and see how you feel. Not that we’re turning 50 this year. Nosirree bob. ---

Mine’s Dec. 8. Not too much squishing, except for that one year when all five of my cousins gave me and my sister (another December baby) a joint Christmas-birthday present. We used to have gingerbread-house-decorating birthday parties, and Santa cakes. ---

We had the exact same birthday, December 6 1984. Had we not been born in different cities we would have been concerned about possible “switched at birth” problems.
