I have a "Christmas time" birthday too--thank you, SulaBug for not making it a Christmas theme! Some of us who celebrate our birthdays so close to Christmas like to have our birthday celebrated as if it was in the summer or any other time of the year BUT Christmas. When I was a kid, it seemed like we always put up the Christmas tree on my birthday. I always pined for a June birthday! Now that I am "the mom", we wait until after my birthday to decorate for Christmas! Makes me feel more special! :D
