Who has a bday around Christmas?, Did it bother you growing up?

As the topic says, I am keen to hear from people who actually have a birthday on or close to Christmas. I would like to know if it bothered you growing up or whether it was just one of those things that you never know any different so you didn't care? I'm in two minds whether to TTC this month as based on AF bub would be due Dec 29. I know that it can take ages to get pg, but last time around we were lucky enough to fall straight away, so I feel there is a high chance I could end up with a Christmas/New Years baby and I'm not sure how I feel about the disadvantages of being a Christmas bub. WDYT? This post has been edited by anon today: 04/04/2012, 11:54 AM

I love my girls
Mine is 16 Dec, DD1 is 2 Dec. It has never worried DD1, her birthday is far enough away from Christmas to bother her. I always hated it as a child. Everywhere you went there was Christmas music! Everyone was always too busy with Christmas celebrations in the week leading up to Christmas to make time for my birthday. My family was good about it but friends etc were just too busy. Back when I was a child it was always school holidays on my birthday and I felt ripped that everyone was made a fuss of at school on their birthday and I always missed out. Now it's not an issue for me. This post has been edited by alyssatahli: 04/04/2012, 12:50 PM
