My birthday is December 20th. I love my birthday. I love everyone's birthday for that matter. The one thing I hate about my birthday are the questions.
Oh my gosh, you are so close to Christmas? Do you get fewer gifts? Isn't it so annoying to have all your gifts at one time a year? Do you wish you had a different birthday?
If you do not have a December birthday, STOP ASKING! I love my birthday just like everyone else loves their birthday. I have lived 18 (almost 19) years with my birthday at this time. How could I possibly know what it is like to celebrate it at another time? I feel like I get the same amount of gifts, but how would I know? It is close to Christmas, but I would never want to change my birthday!
Since I do not know anything different, I love when my birthday is. I love the time leading up to it, and I love the day. It makes me love this season even more. I love receiving gifts, and I love knowing in a couple days I can give people gifts they will love, too. I love that it is at a time when everyone is relatively happy and people will be home. People will be home for the holidays, which makes it possible for me to see them on my birthday! The timing of my birthday is perfect to me. I love being a winter baby, where all my favorite things happen. I have Christmas, Christmas music, hot chocolate, and the beginning of snow. I love seeing all the decorations, too. All of that is not for my birthday, but I at least have a birthday that is hard to forget (5 days before Christmas) and a birthday that is during my favorite part of the year. So yes, maybe a Spring birthday would be nice, but I will always think my birthday is still the best.
