Kristie: you asked what it's like to have your birthday at Christmas. Well for me that's just part of the tradition, you know. Lot's of presents the 24th and then a new load the 27th. Of course I've been a victim to getting presents which are Christmas and birthday in one, but then it has usually been something expensive that I've really wanted, so it's been okay, or I'll get just a small gift for my birthday. Also, my entire family (or at least my mom, all my brothers, my grandma and most of my cousins) are born in March and April, so my mom always gives me a little present at that time too so I won't feel left out. The only negative thing about having your birthday at Christmas is that everyone always have so many Christmas parties to go to, which makes it almost impossible to celebrate my birthday on the actual day! Other than that I love it:D
