Growing up, my family there was 7 kids. 6 of us are december babies. My parents always made sure to make that day "our" day. We would just have a cake at home, no big party. My mom always said that she wouldnt dare invite people to a birthday party so close to Christmas. I didnt mind the christmas wrapping paper, but I did feel cheated that I never had a real birthday party as a kid...honestly, as a kid, my parents never gave me a combo gift, now as an adult, friends give me combo gifts, which is more than fine with me.
