Does anyone have children who were born around Christmas, thrown a birthday party, and no one (almost no one) showed up?
Do you plan the Birthday party much earlier?
What have you done to prevent that from happening?

I am born on the 21st and this happened to me when I was little. I was just remembering that and looking back that was sad.
So my dad got a limosine and what happened EVERYONE showed up. :)

We had friends when my kids were little and both of their kids were born the week of Christmas. When the kids got old enough for more than family at parties they started having 1/2 year parties in June. Then they got to have a special day. Mom's birthday happened to be the 28th of Dec. and this was what her family had done. They always had a special cake on each of the kids actual Birthdays and they got to feel special again at their 1/2 year.

We moved to a new area in August. My daughters birthday was in November. (not too close to Christmas) I planned a nice birthday party at a local park (figured a neutral location would be better since I didn't really know too many parents). We got to the park, set everything up, cake, punch, balloons, etc....and NOBODY showed! NOT A SINGLE PERSON! I ended up giving all the decorations to another mom wanting to have a party that day but I had beat her on the gazebo reservation.
It was SO heartbreaking!!! So just be careful! I wouldn't wish that feeling on anyone or their kid. My daughter was so sad!
Maybe you could have a small party and coordinate it with the other moms - on a Saturday afternoon to give them some shopping time. And the kids could make a small craft as a gift for their family. Birthday/Christmas party in one.
Good luck!

Holidays aren't approximately being egocentric however approximately being high-quality, he didnt do something to break your celebration like holiday matters or be impolite to different household participants, did he. Maybe he doesnt have any brothers or sisters and is simply lonely, he's a child. There are extra matters in lifestyles to be involved approximately then one other character at your christmas celebration.

We always take our December birthday kids (2) to Chuckie Cheese. Also, RSVP is a must. If they don't call, you call them a few days before the party, and say you wonder if they got the invite, and are they coming?
