What date in December is your birthday ?

Mine is the 18th, exactly one week before christmas, and growing up i was "allowed" to pick a christmas present from under the tree to open. I am traumatised from growing up never having a proper Birthday present, nor ever having a present wrapped in birthday paper instead of christmas paper :(((

I am the 7th phillipa and even then I used to get a 'big' present that would do for both from certain parties so I empathise

lol! not on, is it? i think we should be allowed to move it. the queen has 2, why not the rest of us? we can change our name, why not our birthday? I would have one in the middle of summer so you could celebrate with a lovely big barbeque in the garden!! :)

sorry peri and sachs, for hijacking your thread! xxx

damn right - my niece is on the 20th december and my sister always had a half birthday for her in June - funny thing is my sister was the biggest offender of the 'big' present.

thats a good idea! have a half birthday! next one will be 39, and id rather celebrate 39 and a half, than what is going to follow! lol ! i always prefer lots of little things to one 'big' pressie anyway, the opening lasts longer!! :)
