My Mum was born on Dec 28 and hated it as a kid as being back in the late 40's early 50's and only having her own mother at home she used to get 1 shoe for xmas and 1 for her birthday as money was so tight. Now we all make sure we pile into her house for morning tea or lunch the day of her birthday

My brother was born Dec 15 and dont think he was ever hard done by with his b/day 10 days before xmas. I guess with mum going through what she did, she didn't want her firstborn to suffer the same fate.

I must admit though if I was pregnant I'd prefer an early dec baby to a late dec baby.

Love
