A lot of people ask me what it’s like to be a Christmas baby. Several tell me I have a chip on my shoulder about being a Christmas baby. It’s really a pretty cool day to have been born! It’s a very unique topic of conversation when I have to give my birthdate to someone. It’s already an exciting time of year with lots of celebrating, bustling and parties … it’s sort of magical. People also ask if I receive just one gift for both occasions. That does happen a lot, but how can I complain. When I was little, it was sort of tough to have birthday parties around Christmas time, but my Mom always made it happen! I get a lot of “ohhhhh, I forgot your birthday with the bustle of the Holidays!” If I had $1 for every time I hear that, I’d be very wealthy! BUT, my family is wonderful at making sure I’m celebrated. We usually do a movie night on Christmas night in the Alamo Drafthouse Party Room … eat the eats, have fun, watch a flick and there is always a special birthday treat just for me. Birthdays should be celebrated AND having a Christmas one is pretty darn cool!
