bluewolf458 wants to know about the problems of having a birthday so close to Christmas
Do you have about an hour? ;-) It pretty much starts and ends with people just simply forgetting about you. Christmas, New Years - oh wait, was Barb's birthday somewhere in there? Yeah I've gotten birthday wishes in February.
It really sucked when I was a kid in school. All the other kids got a party but since mine was over Christmas break I got nothing.
Then there's the "combo gift". It's almost always wrapped in Christmas paper. "Here's one gift for your birthday and Christmas!" Really? Can't wait to see YOUR face when I hand you a present wrapped in Christmas paper in May or June for YOUR birthday and say it's a combo gift! How do ya like them apples?
Then there's the weather, living in Chicago in the winter. While other people get to have pool parties for their birthdays I'm lucky if I can even get out of the house because of all the snow and ice. Really puts a damper on celebrating.
I think those are pretty much the highlights of why having a birthday so close to Christmas sucks. On the other hand I could be my Aunt Pat. Her birthday is Christmas Eve. So it could always be worse. :-)
