My mom is a Christmas baby and has told me all about the joint Christmas/birthday gifts everyone would give her growing up and how she could never have parties. My family makes sure we celebrate her birthday separately from the Christmas activities. She gets a birthday pie since she's not a cake person and I always get her a splurge type item (jewelry, perfume, etc) as a gift. Her xmas presents tend to be more on the practical side.

I have a friend who had a Christmas baby and what she does is set up the eat-in kitchen as his 'birthday area' where there is no sign of Christmas, only birthday decorations and birthday presents wrapped in birthday paper. I think it's really sweet.

Yay, Holiday babies!!
I was due as a Christmas baby, and born exactly one month early just in time for Thanksgiving. I always had a love/hate relationship with being a Turkey baby. I love turkey and pecan pie, so it was like a built in guaranteed good bday meal for me.. but I never had a birthday party with friends, because they were always gone to visit family/on vacation. I had to have my party 2 weeks early, or 2nd week of December, and by then, everybody was too busy to come still. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
I had family parties, but it was always on Thanksgiving day, and football was always the main event other than the holiday. I remember spending many years pissing everybody off by licking the whole pecan pie right in front of them all so they couldn't eat any of it. Serves them right for ignoring me!
I never really had presents most years, just told them to save the money to add to Christmas. The girls would all get together and go shopping day after.

I starte
My family gives me my birthday money in June. I hated those Christmas birthday cards too.Another Dec b day here ! I'm on the 21st. I'm a true Sagittarius. I was supposed to be born on the 25th. Whew! When I was 7; got tired of shafted between b day and Christmas gifts. I declared that I'm celebrating my b day in Feburary along with my favorite cousin. We did that for 7 years. After that; I was able to get both gifts and still do now. Like you said as an adult, really, enough of stuff. I do appreciate the thought

I was born around 11pm on Thursday the 12th. I'm glad my mom pushed fast! LOL I've heard of a lot of people who have their birthdays around Christmas celebrating them in the summer. I like my July birthday. It feels like I get Christmas, then half Christmas!

Uh Huh Her
I have a friend with a Christmas-ish birthday -- and so does her sister. They do half-birthday parties instead, and they've been doing it that way since childhood, so she must like it! I also have a friend who was born on a Friday the 13th in 1974 (the year is important here). His name is Jason. (My own birthday is less than a month after Christmas. We ended up with a somewhat unwanted tradition of presents intended for Christmas being given as birthday presents because my mom would forget she bought something or where she put it and then come across it in mid-January.

You shouldn't give them any ideas. I asked them if there was any way to buy samples that we didn't get in our boxes... three weeks later sample packs arrived. I see what you did there Birchbox and I'd like to be paid for my marketing input.

December 23rd baby here, and it sucks and rocks at the same time.
Sucks because your birthday is ignored in favour of everything else every single year but rocks because all the awesome sales will most definitely be happening so spend your heart out!

Yeah, it's been sold out for some time now. I added myself to the waitlist to be notified when they re-stock. Sucks. I may have to buy it from a drugstore, but I wanted points, dammit!
Is anyone else having a panic attack that BB just sent an email THIS MORNING to get 50 extra points when you spend $35 or more on items from July box? WHY COULDN'T THEY HAVE SENT THIS YESTERDAY MORNING??? Preferably, BEFORE I spent $50 ordering MORE items from the July Box. "?&,)":96:!'c@!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I did that, too. But I got on the site this morning and it's like completely gone! Like not even on the page! I did a search for it and it didn't come up. I may have to get it somewhere else. I'm almost out! and a girl can't go without her dry shampoo! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

They should give you the points -- it's in their FAQ!
I made a purchase just before a promotion was released! Can the promotion still be applied to my order?
We will honor any orders placed 3 days prior to the promotion release date. Please contact us at 877-487-7272 so we may manually apply the promotion.
