Any one ever moved a birthday?

Might sound like a ridiculous question, but I'm thinking of moving my Son's birthday. He was born only three days before Christmas, and this year, while he and we had a great time, I couldn't help feel that his birthday may be better celebrated at another time of year.

I sort-of had a crack last year. At latish moment I invited a few of his friends for a 2 & a 1/2 birthday bash. It went really well, but didn't stop the huge follow up and mass of gifts on his actual birthday later in the year. As I hadn't invited all and sundry and neither did I get others to buy into to the fact that this should effectively replace or be his birthday for all intents and purposes.

If I choose to do it this year, I know I must really sell it to others and invite all that would be expected to his party.

Any one else have a Christmas toddler that has done, or thought of doing similar?

I moved Dd2's 3rd birthday by 3 days when I was in hospital having DS.

We just rang round and let anyone know who we thought she might see and it was fine. Dd was non the wiser.

I often thought about this with dd who has NYeve birthday.
Decided against it because kids get obsessed with what age they are and it became too confusing for everyone.
Shite time for a birthday.

How about two birthdays
A summer friends party one and a winter age celebration family only one
