My birthday is a few days after Christmas and it's such a non event, people are often away, busy, or not wanting a celebration ( understandably ) at that time of year. And it sucks! Joint presents are common too. If feels a bit entitled to want a day just for you as pp have so much going on, but it sometimes feels like not really having a birthday at all. So wanted to take this opportunity to say Happy Birthday to all of us in the same boat at this time of year!😁❤🍷🍸

Hello, happy birthday everyone! My birthday was last weekend, I used to hate it but I have realised that actually, it is ok to protect that day as my birthday, to insist on doing something non festive that I like, and to refuse to do Christmas stuff on that day. I went to the theatre and it was lush, I refused to host family members for Christmas gathering, and I made sure I had a very non Christmassy curry for tea. It’s ok to be a bit stroppy about it, it’s your day and you deserve to enjoy it! Xxx
