Personally I think it will be wonderful!! Besides, I don't think your going to last until Christmas..haha I think if the baby was due near your daughters birthday that would suck..but I don't think Christmas will suck, you just have to make it what you want him to experience. Your birthday is special and as long as you instill that in him I'm sure he will not have a problem with his birthday being near or on Christmas. You could always have his Birthday parties a month before hand, who has their kids b-day parties on their actual Birthday anyways?!

My son is also due on December 25 and I have worried about this since the day I found out my due date. One thing that we have come up with is celebrating his 1/2 birthday like a person normally celebrates their actual birthday. So, June 25 we will have a brithday party for family and friends and then on his actual birthday, we will just do something small and quiet at home. Since this is baby number 2, we plan on have a small, quiet party for our daughter on her 1/2 birthday, since her actual birthday is Feb. 2... we wouldn't want her to think that it was unfair for little brother to have 2 birthdays...
I have talked to many people about this, and all of them say that it is terrible to have a birthday really close to Christmas, but I think that it just makes the time a little more special. I know that I have personally been looking forward to Christmas very much this year!!
Good luck with your baby. I love meeting (well, hearing about) :-) other mothers due around the same time as me!!

I have a friend who was born on December 25th, and a friend whose birthday is December 23rd. Both hate their birthdays and feel that they dont get their own special day. All their friends are busy with Christmas, so it's hard to have a birthday party. Then of course there's the whole present thing. because of this I timed both pregnancies so that the due date would be nowhere near Christmas. I'm 5 months pregnant now and think for me it would be fun to have a baby around Christmas, it would add to my Christmas spirit, but for the child's sake I didn't want to do that.

One of my children was due on the 22nd, I only have C-sections so I took the first available to get her away from Christmas, so she is December 14th. But I do notice it is hard to have a party so close to Christmas. People are to occupied (or short of cash) to come. So what I am doing this year is combining both of the girls and having the part (for their friends) in January. My other daughters birthday is in February. That way is will be after the rush of holidays. So I hope this birthday will be very special for her.
Yes she does get many Christmas/Birthday gifts!!

I think that would be the greatest christmas present ever!
-Oh, also, if you are concerned with birthday's clashing, in the future, you can always celebrate the birthday on a different day, like earlier in the month or later if you wanted. My best friend was born right around christmas so, we always celebrate her birthday on Dec. 7th. Her family has always done that and she loves it (especially when she was a child) because really she got to celebrate her birthday twice!

I am due to have my Bub on Dec 21st. I am not overly thrilled about the date-(Never wanted a Christmas baby), but there is nothing you can do about it except to try and separate their birthday as much as possible from Christmas so that they still feel like it's "their day" and not everyones day. They way I see it is it can't be changed now and to just enjoy having a beautiful little bub. Good luck!

My baby is due on Dec. 26th, so I too have had to deal with this issue. I know 2 people whose b-day's fall near xmas and both have felt cheated in various ways... but I personally will be okay with whenever my daughter decides to come. What a wonderful present she'll be to those that love and are waiting for her! It's totally do-able. We can celebrate x-mas in the morning and her birthday at night!

I also have a feeling my little female would be early - my first - my son i became into 11 days late, yet this time, she has dropped early (30 weeks) and that i've got been informed that with 2d little ones they are not meant to drop until merely previously labour and if and whilst u do drop with ur 2d, delivery is regularly interior 4 weeks of ur infant dropping my midwife additionally thinks i will circulate early as my little female has dropped and is extremely low yet hasnt engaged yet or hadn't at my 32 week appt besides. I dont understand if it is going to come genuine yet I even have an exceptionally vast feeling that she's gonna be early - like 36 or 37 weeks on the latest yet we are going to see i became into speaking to somebody previously in the week who had a feeling she'd furnish early, have been given informed by her ob/gyn that she'd circulate early and he or she became into late by 9 days... so i assume that is going to teach to not believe what ur well being care provider etc tells u etc... u may well be proper yet dont carry ur hopes out on it..

I think its special actually... people only think its worse cause the child will get ripped offf. I think its best if you keep the holidays seperate though. When the child gets old enough though you should ask the child whether he or she wants a seperate party or not. My sisters due date is between dec 23-27. we are wayyy excited for a christmas baby!!

yeah but only 5% of all babies are actually born on their due date and anyway it will be his birthday other people can just deal with it. The baby will come out when he is ready no matter what the date is
