I was born on Christmas morning & it has always been a mixed blessing for me.
I was fortuate that most of my family seldom ever did the 2-for-1 kind of present. And when they did, it was usually because it was an extra big present, expensive enough to count as two presents.
And not-so-close family members who were in town would bring a little present for because they happened to be there for my birthday when my brothers would be forgotten for their spring, summer & fall birthdays.
BUT
A Christmas birthday is kind of anti-climatic. A birthday just can't measure up to Christmas morning.
And my birthday cake as dessert for Christmas dinner!? ERRRG!
And never, never, NEVER wrap someone's birthday present in Christmas paper!
And I have to wait a whole year for gifts again, unlike my brothers.
So as an adult, I usually have my birthday a few days after my birthday. And one of my favorite things is to go to an oriental resteraunt for my birthday. Very UN-Christmassy.

~~~ Happy Birthday Jesus. Happy Birthday Massa Bruce & Happy Birthday to me! Yeah,I too was born on December 25th. It was a real drag when I was a child,because it seemed like all the other kids had their special days in the summer,& mine was ON Christmas & I always got the combined Christmas/Birthday gifts from well meaning family members. As an adult ,I couldn't care less,because I don't celebrate my birthdays anymore. I stopped at age 29.....& I won't admit when that was. Hey,I was born at 11:01 A.M. ,What time were you born? My older brother used to call me a "Christmas Stocking Stuffer". Maybe that's why the stockings have always been my favorite Christmas tradition. Anyway,I hope you have a great Birthday! ~~~

At least you're born on a sacred holiday. Gifts aren't anything of significance, really. I mean, unless you're young, then gifts mean the most. I feel the Christmas would really over shadow somebody's birthday, but honestly, as long as you have a great day, what's the big deal? Honestly, a great christmas/birthday every year is something every body else isn't lucky enough to have PLUS you save money on parties by combining them. Honestly, I wish I were born on Christmas, but I'm stuck with one crappy day in september. Happy birthday and Merry christmas.

Aww I'm sorry, I always thought it would be cool to be born on Christmas but then I rethought it. But be special tomorrow's your birthday! My birthday is five days after Christmas. Which is December 30 which is the day before New Years Eve. Kind of funny I'm celebrating the day of my birth on what I think is the end of the year. Then it's New Years Eve, then six days laters it's my Mommy's birthday.
Ah Well.
Have a very Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Years!!!!

my dad was born on Christmas eve
but that's awesome that you were born on Christmas, cause you can just tell people, I'm born on Christmas.
Then they'll prolly be all like, ooooh....ahhhh....you were born on Christmas?????!?!?!?!?!??! OMG CALL THE PRESIDENT, WE NEEEED A CELEBRATION.
Even though that prolly wouldn't happen, it'd be cool.
My dad always got to open an early present and his birthday present. That sucks you don't recieve 2 presents from the same person cause it's your birthday.

I was born on a leap year on 2/29. I only get my birthday once every four years. This means that I look extremely old for my "age". I feel your pain.
