1. Someone is always trying to steal your spotlight.

Jesus just had to be born in December. Santa just has to wait until December to deliver all his gifts.

2. Most people forget because they are too caught up in the holiday season.

Yeah, yeah, I understand the holidays are busy, but come on.

3. You always get combined Birthday/Christmas presents.

If you have ever given me a combined present, know that we are not friends.

4. Your birthday cards are usually just Christmas cards with "Happy Birthday" scribbled inside.

Is it really too much to ask for an actual birthday card?

5. Your friends are either still in school or with family on your birthday.

The only people that I want to be with aren't even around.

6. Trying to organize a birthday gathering during the holidays is virtually impossible.

All of your family and friends are usually occupied with prior holiday engagements.

7. If you are able to have a birthday party, it is always Christmas themed.

Surprise, surprise, another Christmas party disguised as your big birthday bash.

8. Your birthday cake is always red and green.

9. People always want to do Christmas related activities to celebrate your birthday.

Can we please not talk about Christmas for one day?

10. You never get any mid-year presents.

Having to wait all year for presents is pure torture.

11. You never get to have that fun pool party birthday you've always wanted.

All I have ever wanted was to go swimming on my birthday, too bad it's -10 degrees outside and the pool in frozen.
