To ask if a friend's birthday was around Xmas time, would you be willing to celebrate their birthday in the summer instead?

My birthday is a few days after Xmas. As many of us on here know, who also have their birthday at this time, it tends to get overlooked. I've come to terms with it, but it still makes me feel a bit sad, and tbh it feels like I don't really have a birthday. I totally understand that Pp are busy, or away, or don't have much money and that it's just one more thing to have to deal with at this time of year.

This year I have a significant birthday coming up and I'm wondering whether I should just have a celebration in the Spring/Summer instead? It feels a bit of a cheek tbh, but if I'd really like to have something that's just for me! I don't want presents, I just want to feel a bit special for one day. If someone invited you to something like this, honestly, how would you feel..?

Lewis Carroll got it right "A very merry unbirthday to you!"
Nothing wrong with having a party in celebration of your big birthday. Parties can be whenever you want them. Go for it!

Bear in mind that summer birthdays can be difficult if people go away on holiday. My birthday coincides with a holiday period in the country I live in, so I've never bothered to celebrate other than chocolates and a restaurant meal with the family - turnout would be disappointing. There are actually loads of times of year when holding birthday celebrations is less than ideal or a lot of people won't be able to make it.
