It’s my birthday today! Yay! 
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!
Lady Venom and Mac Guffin - Me, too, on the 15th !
Two weeks away - I’m still waiting for that Stingray bike I asked for thirty years ago. Maybe this time !
I think I might have change my user name 
I dunno, maybe. Link?
Cool – mine fell on a Thursday that year. What’s the old poem?
Monday’s child is full of grace,
Tuesday’s child is fair of face,
Wednesday’s Child is full of woe,
Thursday’s Child has far to go,
Friday’s Child is loving and giving,
Saturday’s Child works hard for a living,
But Sunday’s Child is fair and wise, and good and gay.

Sorry if I missed anybody. And happy birthday to brainfizz!
Mine is also December 8th…29 yet again!!!
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.
So that’s what, five of us on the 31st? Baker, twickster, Chavardz, Crescent, LifeonWry
Don’t worry, your username change has been reflected in our records. Have a nice day.
If you do, make sure to give me the credit. 
Maybe spogga means In which I pit God…
Mint M&Ms? Those sound cool… where DO you get them?
No, there’s six of you. I’ll get to it in a minute, with another post. More easily understood that way.

Add one more for the 31st - boy, there are a lot of us, aren’t there? And this year I turn - 30!!! AAAGHH! Whatever.
And to celebrate this momentous occasion (had to look up the spelling - that and tomorrow are my weaknesses) - I am moving, and starting a new job on January 12th!

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.
Hi to my the rest of the Decembers! I had
For my fellow December 8ths: I have decided that I will have fun whether it’s a Monday or not. (I’m 21 this year!) So I am getting a bunch of people together and we are going out to dinner.
My birthday is 17 days before Christmas, my dad’s is 17 days after. Neither of us have “combining” problems.

*I had no idea that Flamsterette_X knew when my birthday was. Awesome! Thanks!

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.
Last semester there was a girl in my piano class who had been born on the same DAY in the same MONTH in the same YEAR as me. 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.
