What Can You Do For A Christmas Birthday?
Posted on | August 10, 2009 |
My wife’s birthday is on Christmas day so she has been short-changed all her life. I would like to ditch Christmas this year and make December 25th just about her and her birthday. Any ideas?

My brother’s birthday is day after christmas and every year he got short-changed. Aunties, etc. wold say “Oh, junior, we got you a bigger present because it is for both Christmas and your birthday”. a kid doesn’t think that’s very cool. A kid - and an adult -doesn’t care if you spent $5. or $25. so long as the gift is cool. Once we became adults I made a special point of always giving my brother a separate birthday gift - and NEVER used Christmas wrapping!! (like some people did). If you ditch Christmas, you are still short-changing her, dummy-cakes. You do the whole Christmas thing as usual but maybe you buy a very personal gift , set your alarm clock for 12:01 December 25th, wake her up with a kiss and a glass of champagne and say “Happy Birthday, darling, sweetie, lambie-pie,cuddles. This moment is just for you because I love you!” Trust me, all day Christmas she’ll be bragging to all her friends and relatives about the most romantic, thoughtful guy in the world - YOU!
**Just read your add-on, and i still urge you both not to “ditch” Christmas. Been there,done that - and for the same reasons you gave. It was a disaster. Two of us in Vegas, both missing the meaning and feelings of Christmas. Start your own new traditions - things you can later share with your children from the extended families because some years you will have the kids. Buy an artificial tree, one that is exquisite, one that you can now afford because you aren’t feeding a horde of people for dinner. Plan future decorating and start with this year’s purchase, in following years, include those kids. You need to show the children that Christmas is important and that you are celebrating so that they want to be with you on alternate years. Whether you are feeling like a “family” this year or not, you really ARE a family, just missing a few members on this one occasion. The earlier suggestion would still hold true, but then please have a wonderful Christmas as well! You can always have a birthday cake for dessert.

I wouldn’t suggest ditching Christmas.It does seem like a sweet gesture.You should take her out to dinner or cook for her.Buy her birthday gifts as well as Christmas gifts.Take her out to her fav. place.I’m sure whatever you decide to do,she will love.From what I’m hearing you will make the most of it.Good luck..Happy Holidays to the both of you..
