    Most December babies frown about their birthday passing by unnoticed, especially those born after Christmas… but who can forget Christmas Day?

    People ALWAYS remember it's your birthday. –Heather B.
    I am grateful that it's easy to remember. My older sister's birthday is on the 27th and that would be worse. –Gabe
    I was not as lost as was my brother who had a birthday the day AFTER Christmas, and I felt sorry for him. –Dorothy L.

    2. Non-Committal Friends And Family

    No one wants to schedule anything on Christmas day – and that’s exactly what makes a birthday party possible! It’s like a surprise party where only the guests are surprised.

    "I just send out a text Christmas afternoon saying 'hey everyone, party at my house tonight' – and I get a huge turn out because nobody's actually doing anything." –Rex Sowards

    3. Seriously Unique

    Just the fact that they have a birthday on Christmas day sets them apart from every other birthday throughout the year.

    I use it a lot of times in those 2 truths and a lie type games. –Lisa C.
    To be totally honest… I get more love and attention than I would if my birthday was on just a 'regular' day. –Heather B.

    4. My Birthday Is Everyone’s Day Off

    Most people don’t have to work on Christmas. You not only have the benefit of a vacation day, but so do the rest of your family and friends.

    I will probably never have to work on my birthday and we always had that day off of school. –Lisa C.

    5. Extra Goodies For My Christmas Birthday

    Pity has its advantages. While your birthday comes and goes with a card or gift from the “regulars”, Christmas birthdays get loot from people who normally wouldn’t give them anything.

    I had several aunts that always gave me an extra present for my birthday when we got together for Christmas. It made my brothers mad because they never remembered their birthdays, even though one of them was only 3 days later! –Lisa C.

    6. Braggin’ Rights And Divine Connections

    How many people can claim that they have the most celebrated birthday in all of history? True, it’s the birth of Christ that the world is celebrating – but still.

    I love being a Christmas child (which also happens to be the meaning of the name Natalie)…. I think it's fun sharing a day with God. –Natalie Osborn
    My name, Rex, is the Latin word for king. Not only do I share the celebration of Christ's birth, but I also have His name sake. –Rex Sowards

    7. Everyone’s Happy On My Birthday

    The panic is over – no more shopping, wrapping or planning. The culmination of a festive yet stressful season is finally here, and people can finally relax to enjoy the fruit of their labors.

    Others born around Christmas hate it, but I think it's fantastic! Nobody's sad on Christmas day. Everybody's happy. Everyone is celebrating. –Rex Sowards
