I was born in December and to make it worse I was born on the 21st. For those of you who can’t put it together, December 21 is the shortest day of the year. I will admit as a child it was really depressing hearing that my Birthday was somehow shorter than anyone else’s. Yes, eventually I figured it out, but not until I was old enough to understand the pitfalls of just having a December Birthday in general.
Yes, it’s true. I did receive the combo gifts. I received the combo cards and I even remember certain years my Birthday fell on a Friday and the holiday started on my Birthday. As I got older I realized I could manipulate the situation and having a December Birthday was not that bad.
People born in December have the right to choose any other day in the year and declare it’s their Birthday and everyone who did the combo Birthday/Christmas will feel guilty enough to agree.

9. Everyone decorates for your Birthday
10. If it was good enough for Jesus, it’s good enough for you!
