Thank you...a Dec. 12th birthday here. Not the best month for a birthday. There was always more focus on Christmas, so you always felt like a second thought. I guess I shouldn't complain, both my mom and dad had birthdays on Christmas Eve...now that was a bummer!!

December 27

Like others said, it's rubbish and many a years my birthday was drowned in the xmas and nye rush.

Though I have to say that it got better after moving to Australia. It was pretty awesome to be able to celebrate my birthday in summer for quite a few years. Now it's back to the nondescript mush of cold and rain in North-West Germany *sigh*
