DD birthday sooooo close to Christmas....what should I do?

Hi all,

My dd will be 1 on 3rd Jan. What a rubbish birthday for her, didn't think of that when TTC!
I have asked friends and family not to buy her presents for her bd, but to give her toy vouchers instead. I figure I will get her some outside toys in the summer.
She will still get presents from me and grandparents, but am I being mean?

And what do I do in future years?

I don't know if my house can withstand two present loads in one go (very large families on both sides)

Would love some advice

He will be 4 this time. Have managed to get him really excited about it being both Christmas and his birthday!

One of my friends had a son who had a birthday on Boxing day.

Although they have a cake and cards, she designated a present day in the middle of the year when he would also have a party with friends.

No shared birthday and christmas presents and something nice to look forward to in the middle of the year.
