I was born only a week after Christmas and it was such a let down to recieve a combined Christmas/birthday present for me as a child growing up. Then watching my sister celebrate christmas in december and her birthday in June - it just didn't seem fair and right to me. I never said anything though growing up. Now that I am older I have admitted that it was not much appreciated by me then. But also, now that I'm older, I also relize the financial strain of having a birthday and christmas so much. I now have a son who's birthday is a week before Christmas. Poor kid. I always feel badly for him, so I make a point of making it very special and completely seperate from Christmas.

O that's really sad. My birthday is on the 22nd and I don't really get happy birthday either :( Anyway my family used to throw me a "friends" party in June so that I could invite my friends to a party because everyone is always gone for my real one. Its just a thought
Now as for your family not wishing you a happy birthday I think you should say something. You didn't choose to have your bday on Christmas its your parents fault. I would let them know that its not fair that everyone else gets recognized and you dont

i do not imagine there's a incorrect or accurate answer right here. If I had a severe courting i imagine i must be very damage that my lady friend did not opt for to spend Christmas day with me, a minimum of component to the time. i imagine this is truly major that you both have a severe talk about this asap and agree floor guidelines. If my brother/sister/pal had a courting the position the different social gathering did not opt for to spend Christmas with them, i ought to imagine it wasn't going everywhere yet. i'm getting it that you're feeling pitied yet you should attempt more advantageous sturdy to appreciate that they does not opt for to be on their personal. i imagine it comes right down to how a lot you opt for this courting, in case you do I advise you concentrate on the way you could compromise. interior the situations it must be somewhat ideal to be dishonest to grant an "ideal" excuse for determining to purchase away, which include an previous college pal/maiden aunt/all persons has only contacted you and also you may spend a even as mutually, and also you may't enable them down. Whichever little bit of the kinfolk Christmas you imagine you could tolerate, e.g. dinner and an hour or 2 both section, or NO DINNER yet some hours interior the nighttime, grant it and follow your guns. you could also use pity for your benefit - if say one in each and every of your kinfolk has gave up the ghost, say Christmas with the kinfolk in elementary words reminds you of your pricey departed Mum/Dad Aunty Nelly who died on Christmas day etc etc. then you truly ought to have "shared" some thing smooth and made your absence more advantageous ideal. actually i'm affirming that they are going to probably not be able to appreciate a sparkling refusal, so don't have a warfare of words, hit upon a fashion to dodge the issue.

You should tell everyone that from now on you are going to celebrate your birthday in June. Then pick a day, the 25th maybe, and insist that everyone say happy birthday and give you presents.
I celebrate my husband's birthday in June, on my birthday, so it is like we have the same birthday (his is the 28th of December). Then I'm not the only one getting presents, I get to give some too!

Say Something!!! I have a son who's birthday is two days after christmas and I always keep the two days seperate. I provide gifts and dinners on two seperate occasions. He's now going to be 18 and I know he appreciates that.

Say something. Not in a mean or sarcastic way, but just mention it.
What we do for my nephew, who was born Dec. 23rd, is have 1/2 birthdays. We celebrate his 1/2 birthdays in June. That way he still feels like his birthday is special and not mixed in the holidays. Maybe you could do something like that?

My cousin and grandmother share your birthday... and what my cousin does is celebrates her birthday in june, a full 6 months away.
It's not the same as if it were on the real day, but you deserve your special recognition, too.
Anyway, at a gathering or something on christmas you would be rightful in casually mentioning it in conversations as in "you know, in all this festivities it makes me feel so grateful to have my birthday in this time of year."
Any polite person in that conversation would ask, "oh, it's your birthday?"
Graciously say, "yes, as amatter of fact it is!"
That way, you get your "Happy Birthday" without looking like aspoiled brat.
Best of luck, and happy early birthday!!

Change the rules. My sister was born five minutes before xmas. So we start by her celebrating her Bday and she starts with her bday gifts then we go to xmas. She gets double the presents because it is her bday. Not that I am complaining. For the longest time she didn't think it was fair. As she has gotten older she sees that she has got it pretty good.
Plus she never had to do the clean up.
So your bday is xmas day. You tell everyone it's your bday and you open the gifts first and that on that day everyone else is on clean up duty.
