Really what is so bad about dec babies!!!

[sas85]

How ridiculous! A beautiful baby is coming into the world - who care's when it comes! Elly was born in December and it's a great time of year weather wise to have a baby - you don't have to carry in the hot, hot, hot months, and you don't have to have a newborn in the freezing cold.

Can't say I really got those comments much anyway, except from people who don't know us - we don't celebrate Xmas and Birthdays for religious reasons so when I was a kid we had our family days, kids parties and present days at various times of the year anyway without having to worry about that sort of thing and we'll do the same for our kids.

Thankyou all so much for your beautiful words, it means so much me.
I actually have a few tears, i had a bit of a scare this afternoon, i had started spotting a little, and although it has stopped now, it made me appreaciate my december baby even more, and who cares what other people in my life think about december babies, i am so grateful to be having one!

It is a bit of a PITA with presents(only 2days between xmas and bday). Ive found some of the family(DF's side) only buy for xmas and skip on the bday present yet my other child gets a bday and xmas gift so thats abit unfair.

this is the only reason i think a lot of people have negativity about December babies - the laziness of OTHER people in making sure the birthday is celebrated seperately! it annoys me when i hear people saying "oh, we bought something a little bit bigger for both birthday and Christmas" - as a younger child, i find this appalling cos they DO remember that their siblings got treated special and i'm sure they'd rather have two smaller gifts... i also know of people who do the same with birthdays close to Easter (or for people who are mothers and have birthdays near mothers day!) - it does't take much to make a big deal of the individual on the day of their birthday!

i have a friend who has twins that are now at school - to make sure their birthday was celebrated, they used to have a party late november - kinda an end of year get together for their birthday before everyone got too busy. the twins always had a family thing ON their birthday, but their friends had a party with them late November or early December. their bro had his birthday in Sept, sis in November (early) so they made the big deal of it - it's not like the kids owuld forget how spesh their siblings birthdays were.

the whole "year til their birthday comes around" thing is such a crock - we ALL wait. yes, some of us get a middle year celebration - but we're not on school holidays (mostly), we're not having lots of extra time with family - pfft! i think people need to take a good long look at themselves - every baby is precious, they arrive when they arrive - and if people don't want to have THEIR baby in December - well, keep your knees together in April!

My first angel baby was due in Dec.... I would have given anything for a dec birth after we lost him/her

Don't listen to them... they obviously have issues.

DD2's birthday is 17th Dec, I never had a problem with it and she gets lots of presents all in a week or 2. She does complain sometimes mid year that she has to wait so long but all kids do that LOL
My bro and his DD are both born on 27th december which can be a pain for them but if everyone is nice and buys seperate presents then its fine.
School is perfect for december babies cause they are already 5 when school starts.
