Christmas Birthday Blues

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Duke chapter.

Being born during Christmas Time can bring some of the worst and best birthdays ever. I feel your pain and wanted to highlight some of the worst and best things about our birthdays.This is for all the people born in late December and early January

Duds:

That feeling when some someone gives you the infamous combined birthday and Christmas gift

As a kid having to celebrate your birthday at the Christmas parties

When your birthday cake is suddenly Christmas themed, even though Christmas is 2 whole weeks away

When your friends complain about being broke after buying their Christmas gifts

Having to deal with the holiday crowds when doing almost everything

Literally being upstaged by Jesus

Pros: 

Being surrounded by family

No one has to work or go to school, so everyone is ready to party

Being surrounded by Christmas music and decorations, literally all the time

The Food…Period.

Happy Birthday Guys!
