Does everyone who has a birthday on the 25 th feel as i do ... wishes their birthday was any other day.. one present when everyone else has 2 lots ... people forgetting it's ur birthday.
I turn 40 this year and do not want a party because of the expence.
If it is ur birthday on the 25th i wish you all the best xxxx

Seems very unfair as it doesn't feel a special day centred around you. Far more annoying, remembering to buy you a birthday card at Xmas. My OH birthday was on Xmas Day.

Have a great day snigsthecat and hope you get 'let-off' the work involved for Christmas.

A very happy birthday to you Snigs. I hope you get everything you wish for yourself.

Hey you share a birthday with one of the most famous people in history that is well celebrated.... surely not that bad.

It has to be said one of my brothers birthdays was on the 20th and it can be overlooked but a 40th like his 30th (this year) shouldn't be overlooked, any plans to celebrate other than tomorrow... like erm saturday.

i know a few who are celebrating tomorrow, and my friend had her 16th on monday so she said she wont get anything big.

my 16th is in a month today, so i'm not really hoping for a load of presents tomorrow, i'd much rather get more for my birthday because its a special one.
^ if that made sense :D

I was born at the beginning of December and my eldest was born on 29th. I've often had to put up with the combined Christmas and birthday present, and the older members of the family are inclined to do the same for my son. However I've always striven to keep Christmas and his birthday separate, with two presents, and I think we should do this for those who have their birthday on Christmas Day.

My brother has his birthday on Christmas Day, mine is on Boxing Day, I hate it all being at once although we do get separate presents.

Mine was on 22nd and my granddaughter's on the 28th (needless to say my daughter's birthday is in June!). I always got two presents, but I have never been able to celebrate my birthday properly, especially the big ones. Trying to get a decent birthday card is bad enough!
I would like one birthday in the summer when I need things for my holidays, or without it being overshadowed by Christmas. I always make a big thing of my granddaughter's birthday because I know how it feels!

Belated Happy Birthday, snigs! I sympathise :mine's on January 5th,and that's bad enough !. Apart from the "dual present" thing what always got to me was that the Christmas decorations are still up, the birthday cards are hidden in the Christmas ones, and the atmosphere is of a lot of tired, bored people who have been exhausted by Christmas and New Year and who really can't face another celebration. (And they haven't got any spare cash for a present either! ) It's never quite your own day.

Still, as the old joke has it, Christ himself never got a Christmas present ! He had to make do with his birthday presents.

PS I'm thinking of demanding an Official Birthday , like the Queen has. She's got one because one ancestor's birthday fell at a cold time of year and he didn't fancy having to face a ceremonial parade in the cold, so he chose a warmer time as an Official Birthday.

Well, if that was his reason, I reckon ours is a much better one for having another birthday.In fact, we could demand that everyone with a Christmas time birthday have the same official birthday, in June, say !.

My niece's birthday is the 28/12 but she is like the queen she receives cards on this date but celebrates it on the 28/6 (her half birthday).
