Oh the joy of having a birthday in December. Who am I kidding, there is no joy. From the time you're born you realize that your birthday has become an inconvenience to those around you and is continually overshadowed by the holiday season. Whether you celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah or Kwanzaa, I'm sure you can relate to this list of 15 things December babies are all too familiar with.

1. Everyone’s broke

Even yourself, like how can I afford a party? And everyone else is busy buying holiday presents.

2. Everyone’s bored of present shopping

Okay not my problem. I deserve gifts too.

3. People’s schedules are packed

Once again, no party for me. I haven't had a birthday celebration since elementary school because of this very reason.

4. Everyone forgets the actual date

General calls in mid-December by distant family relatives are pretty standard.

5. Joint parties

"Oh we're having a holiday party and there's gonna be a birthday cake for you!" No thanks.

6. People wrap your presents in Christmas paper

Would a couple of balloons kill you?

7. Two in one gifts

Actually, let's entertain the radical notion of just celebrating two separate holiday! No? Okay then.

8. You wait all year for one celebration

I have NOTHING else to look forward to this year.

9. Finals

Do I look like I want to take a 2 hour long exam right now? I should be partying.

10. Snow

No one wants to go outside.

11. People constantly reminding you it sucks

Thanks, I hadn't realized.

12. You can’t travel anywhere

Traveling in December not only takes forever but is hella expensive.

13. Christmas decorations everywhere

I just want some balloons and not tinsel for once.

14. After years go by you become apathetic

Seriously, I could care less anymore. What's a birthday?

15. Always upstaged by the ultimate December baby

Yup, I went there.

Chip up December babies, there's always the next holiday season -I mean birthday.
