Do you have a holiday birthday? If so, do you celebrate them together or separately (different gifts per holiday/birthday) or do you get one gift for that day period. I knew a girl in high school that her birthday was Christmas day. She got double the presents. Some for Christmas and some for her birthday. It seemed a little bizarre to me, but I guess it makes sense. Don't want to short change the poor kid lol.

My son's birthday is November 25, and it falls on Thanksgiving day every four years, and he hates it.

Mine is not near a holiday, but I think double gifts would be ridiculous. I'm having a hard time finding gifts for my toddler that are functional and aren't just space-wasters.

I'm a summer baby, which was always really bad when it came to having parties. It was too close to the school year so people were "too broke" to attend parties but not close enough to the end of the school year to pre-plan around summer vacation trips.

My birthday is November 1st, so I celebrate both on my birthday, and on Halloween-it's a two part deal!

my birthday is near Thanksgiving here in Canada so it is often celebrated together.

Nope mine's in July : ) My sister's birthday is December though so her birthday gets combined with Christmas. Poor her lol

Mine falls on labor day weekend, so as a kid nobody was ever around so I never really got to have a party or anything.
03/21/2012
Nope mine is no where near a holiday will unless you count the 4th of july. lol

Occasionally Mother's Day will fall on my birthday. And yes, my daughter does get me two gifts.
03/21/2012
April 28th is in the same month as Easter, but not that close.

Mine is 9/11 so people are mourning and sad, luckily it isn't as bad as it was.
In HS, I got punched for carrying balloons and such that day.

Two of my kids are summer babies. My middle one has a late August birthday. The semester usually starts ON her birthday, too. It was hard having parties for her, when she was little, we'd have her and her June birthday sisters party on the same day.

I have a late January birthday. I actually had relatives (when I was a kid) cheap enough to give me a present on Christmas and say, "This is your Christmas and birthday present." Jeez, thanks for the socks, Auntie Colleen.

My bday is 3 days before Christmas, and I have never had a party, usually (if i get a gift) it is somehow relative to Christmas or winter. I dont look fwd to my bday anymore... maybe this yr...? I'll be drinking age. ^_^

my birthday is not close to a holiday but think would suck having it on a holiday

My birthday is right near Mayday, which isn't the most celebrated holiday and luckily isn't one associated with gifts, so I don't get ripped off. Our city has a Mayday parade, though, so in my childhood I would often have birthday celebrations during or right after the parade.

My is September 8th. It's not even in the vicinity of a holiday.
03/21/2012
Nope nowhere near a holiday.

Mine is on Halloween. Since that's not a gift giving holiday, it doesn't matter.
My son's sometimes lands on Thanksgiving. Since that's not a gift holiday either, it's irrelevant. Of course, Christmas falls only a month after, so buying mass amounts of toys one month apart is a bit hard on the budget. lol

I'm born on April 30th which is the wiccan/ Gaelic holiday, Beltane (sex holiday yay) But it's not a holiday for me or my family so no extra gifts, just a cool fact
03/22/2012
Nope but mine is in the month of October but to far away from Halloween. I am smack dab in the middle on the 15th of the month.
03/22/2012
Does having the same birthday as MLK count? I always get a 3-day weekend 'cause of it ^_^.
03/22/2012
The year I was born, my birthday landed right on Easter Sunday.
03/22/2012
No it isn't. But my birthday should be a holiday!!!!
