I know I can't change my birthday but I mean the day we celebrate it. My birthday is tomorrow but i want to move it to june. I am excited about tomorrow but I hate it, I hate being born close to Christmas,I hate that I can never book a table anywhere cos everywhere is full of Christmas work parties, and I really bloody hate when my DB and his DP dont send separate cards but one that says 'happy birthday-mas'. June seems such a nice time of year to celebrate a birthday,it would be nice to get all dressed up n go out without ruining my outfit by putting a duffle coat and scarf over it.
So,is it OK to ask my loved ones to celebrate with me in June or am I being weird and precious??

I wrote a blog post about this topic a couple of days ago about how December babies are fed up of birthdays and Christmases rolled into one.

YANBU we have Jan 11 and Jan 25 in this house. Bloody annoying trying to afford it all but we manage it. My aunts is Dec 25 and a best friend is Dec 24 so I've heard your pain. I make an effort to do birthday separately because of what they've said. I promised I'd do the same if I had a kid born in December too.

This is clearly a major issue. I think the government should introduce a bill to make sex illegal between March and May to prevent any child being born close to Christmas.

Crikey, I totally know what you mean. And have the same birthday as you :)

Amber I was brought up to understand finances, to save my pocket money, to appreciate if something I wanted was cheap or expensive. If I had my eye on something sylvanian families related you're damn sure I knew exactly how much it cost and how much of my savings I had contributed to the 'present fund' in order to buy it. If my brother had been bought a bike without being expected to contribute on top of the standard present fund / roll two presents into one I'd have been livid with the unfairness of it.

My brothers birthday is April, he is crap at saving, one time he rolled two birthdays and a Christmas together for one big present (a bike).

Different strokes I suppose but I can't imagine getting one sibling more than another and expecting them not to notice. Id be disappointed if they had such a poor grasp of the value of money tbh.
