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

You might even be asked the question, “Do you get skimped on presents?” Ignore those negative comments. Despite what people may think, having a December birthday is probably one of the best gifts you could have ever been blessed with in your life. Here are a few reasons why December birthdays rock.
