My Spawn #3 is the 28th also. Having a birthday 3 days after Christmas has really proven to be a drag. How did you handle it? Did you celebrate on the actual day or choose a different day? My husband is really wanting to relocate that birthday because he feels so sorry for S#3. (He he he, that name is making me giggle a bit.)

It never seemed to be a drag for male spawn. He loved toys so much! I did cut back for a while and celebrated his half b-day in June....especially when he was younger. I think a pre-Christmas B-day is SO much better! One of the hardest things is reminding relatives not to FORGET or not to wrap B-day presents in Christmas paper!!!

Mine is December 22. People always say, "Well, I guess you don't get any birthday gifts with a birthday that close to Christmas." Actually I probably get more gifts than the rest of the family because it's close to Christmas. While buying Christmas gifts, they always remember to buy me a birthday gift since it's convenient and they're in shopping mode.

Small world! Merman the wonderful turns the big 5-OH on December 3rd! I don't know what to get him for his birthday. We were supposed to go on a river cruise down the Danube River in Germany, to see all the Christmas markets and castles, but that got blasted away by the little condo that Mermaid insisted upon this past summer. I have to think of something else now. Ideas anyone?

The 22nd is my daughter's birthday. We always to keep it from getting lost in the Christmas rush. So far, we have succeeded.

Last year we had the "friends party" in November! It was the first time we did that and we really liked it. There's so much going on with school programs, church programs, holiday parties etc. Of course we still celebrated on her birthday but it was just family. I better get on the ball if we are going to do that again this year.

Mine is Dec 27th. One year my mom didn't want to bake me a birthday cake because we hadn't finished all the fruit cake from Christmas. I was 15 and made my own cake that year. Now baking cakes is my favorite hobby.

My mom has been very successful keeping up with it. I'm sure you, too.

Well, that would be a cheap date, wouldn't it?

GTTBD votes affirmative on the above.

The first "grandbaaboo" 's due date is Dec. 22nd. I may need some ideas soon for the not getting lost in the rush.

Oh, yeah, it's not so much that HE thinks it's a drag--he still has a great time, it's just that the day feels almost like a tag-on to Christmas, know what I mean? And last year he wanted some hard-to-get toys that he ended up not getting, and he told someone about that recently--"My birthday is right after Christmas, so people need to buy me my presents early because after Christmas there's nothing left!" Ouch.
And that's what I was wondering about--if you had tried the half birthday or whatever and how they worked out.

Mine's the 15th, and it never got lost in the shuffle of Christmas; I never really even gave it a second thought, actually. I think that's the key, though, like Sueshore was saying--seems somehow easier to celebrate the two events separately when the birthday falls before Christmas.

Yep, I'm seeing a pattern here--it's the after-Christmas kids who get the shaft!

You're motivating me! Maybe we'll try the early birthday this year for the first time!

Well, I'm glad something good came out of it, cause that just makes me plain sad!

I actually think the before-Christmas birthdays kind of get to ride the wave of all the hustle and bustle of the Christmas season. It's another reason to have a party, what's not to love about that? But post-Christmas is kind of crash time for everyone; not as much motivation to party, I guess.

Yeah, I think you're right about that. My neice's b-day is on Christmas Day. They always have her party between C/mas and New years. It's just not the same though. It's more exciting to have the party before the b-day rather than after.

I say have his party early and see how it goes! I bet he won't complain. My daughter loved getting gifts when it wasn't even her birthday yet!

Coincidentally my husband asked me tonight where I'd like to have my birthday dinner in ATL so he could go ahead and make reservations. The past two years we've done Bacchanalia. Attached is the list from the AJC Fall Dining Guide.

Any suggestions? BTW not The Dining Room. It's just too "big hotel." And not Seegers. The portions are so small there that when I get finished with my meal, I'm ready for chili-cheese fries at Johnny Rocket's two blocks away.

I have one, Mermaid mentioned Merman has one, anyone else? What day is Merman's?

December 9 this chickie hits the big 26

I just talked to my daughter. They had a fantastic baby shower last night. She wants to know when her Mom is coming home to see all the goods! I am so looking forward to being a Grana! :clap_1:
