14 Things All Holiday Babies Know To Be True

    Oh, the agony of a Thanksgiving/Christmas/New Year's/etc. birthday.

    1. If your birthday is on a famous birthday holiday, it's never just about *you.*

    2. And if your birthday is on Christmas Day, you might as well be invisible.

    3. You've tried to get people you know to modify their holidays (just a little!!!!) to accommodate your birthday.

    4. If you express any resentment toward sharing celebrations with the holidays, you feel like a total monster.

    5. Your birthday doesn't have streamers and balloons, it has tinsel and lights and wreaths.

    6. People with non-holiday birthdays just don't understand — but neither can you explain it.

    7. When you find someone else with a birthday near yours, they feel like a ~kindred spirit~.

    8. Your plans are often thwarted because places are closed for the holidays.

    9. On occasion, you've tried to trick yourself into thinking thousands of people are actually ALL celebrating YOUR birthday.

    10. You relate deeply to Fauna trying to keep that damn cake up in Sleeping Beauty.

    11. When people DO make a big deal out of your birthday, you're so shocked you don't know how to handle it.

    12. And then there's the present thing.

    13. But for the most part, you've learned to accept your holiday birthday, and celebrate in your own way.

    14. Plus, there's one major benefit to a holiday birthday: feasting.
