Mine’s December 5th–and I hadn’t been looking forward to it till I read about what **alice\_in\_wonderland** is doing to celebrate her big day. I’m calling the salon this morning and booking the full works, thirty-something, body overhaul day of relaxation!

Ditto!

:eek:

MY GOD!

We both love SF, Comics, etc. AND OUR BIRTHDAYS ARE ON THE SAME DAY?

What are the odds???

Obviously this _proves_ astrology is correct. 😉

Well, all of this is none of my doing. I mostly just stood around while time passed and things happened.

Yes, and I’m _still_ pissed!

My birthday is 12/8–I’m having a total hysterectomy on 12/9. Yippee! :rolleyes: I’m less than thrilled about it, but it will be a relief to get rid of the pain.

My 31st birthday is on the 14th. I will be hosting a party for 300+ people.

Actually, it is my council’s K of C christmas party that day and I am a co-chair for it. Should be a real ulser-burning experience. That’s what I get for missing a council meeting…

I’ll be 29 on the 22nd.

Glad to see there are lots of us December babies.

May you receive many gifts - NONE that come wrapped in Christmas paper.

December 31st, and I will be working that night ☹

I don’t usually work on my birthday since it’s New Year’s Eve, but this time I volunteered because I’m spending Christmas week at home in Germany, so I consider thbat a pretty good trade-off. Besides, I have the 1st off and will celebrate then.

Happy Birthday and Happy New Year to all us New Year’s Babies!

I’ll be 37 on the 16th. I agree - the last 20 years have just flown right by. I keep looking at the number 37, and it just does not compute for me.

My birthday too… Friday the 13th. Not a good sign. Especially since I have two finals on that day. I’ll need those drinks afterwards. :rolleyes:

Now, if only he posted here, we could celebrate…

**StephenG** , we share a birthday, 12/28, although I’ve been legal for more years than I care to acknowledge. In fact, I’ve been married almost as long as you’ve been alive. I hit double _quatro_ this year.

The nice thing about having a birthday at this time is that I never had to go to school on my birthday. And I’m continuing the tradition by taking my second week of vacation during the Christmas hols. The really great thing is, with weekends and legal company holidays, I put in for 5 days of vacation, and I wind up with eleven consecutive days off! WOOOOO!

NYR407 checking in with my 33rd birthday on the 24th (no one else?).

I was the only Christmas gift my mom opened early. 😃  
PS - I don’t get gypped. I would be a rich man if I had a dollar for everytime someone asked me if I did.

:eek: Yikes! 45 on the 18th, time does fly. I’ve had trouble all year remembering how old I was but I think 45 will stick in my brain.  
My son turns 19 on the 8th. My paternal grandfather was born on the 9th, maternal grandfather on the 27th.
