Phooey on them. I have a beautiful december baby. School was no issue - she started when she was 5. Just like I did as a January baby. Xmas is no issue - get her presents in the same layby we put on for xmas. The only thing we always make sure is it has birthday wrapping and there is a birthday cake. Just so everyone establishes the difference. Yes - xmas is a week away - but this is LYTAS DAY! No one in the family does the birthday/xmas present convenience. So I don't see it as an issue.

Besides - January is hotter than December! I had the next baby at the end of January and wanted him out weeks earlier it was so hot and sticky.

The only thing we make sure of is that when travelling to QLD for xmas - it is done before or after her bday. We once did the trip on her birthday because my bestie was over for 2 weeks - and the second was to be spent in QLD, which meant travelling on Lytas birthday. She didn't mind so much but I found having her unwrap her presents in the car on the road wasn't my idea of a special day. Mummy already has her own traumas to deal with on that date - and we have had some birthdays that are forever tainted by badness. She will be allowed to enjoy her birthday for as long as I can ensure it.

December babies also are either Sagitarrius (very friendly/popular people) or Capricorn (very good students who tend to have good career prospects) so what's there to complain about astrologically????
Damn Straight! My little Saggy is a very bubbly and friendly girl! And well, I love caps - but that could be because I am one, haha.
