Thanks! Yeah, being born on the 19th I heard many times, this will be your birthday and Christmas present. Maybe that is why I am kind of a Grinch now.

My oldest son loves combo b-day/christmas gifts because it means he usually gets something really good(i.e. expensive). 2 years ago it was an AR, last year a F-150, this year a bolt action with scope.

31st for me. I always got separate presents from my family and relatives. When I was younger, my birthday presents would come in the same boxes our Christmas presents came in.

My son's was the 14th. He is sick as a dog with some kind of chest cold,
and refuses to acknowledge his b-day till he is better. They were going to have a party for him at school, now he refuses to turn 4 until he goes back to school. God, I love my funny little man.
ETA: when he was born, our nurse was a Dec. baby and read us the riot act about combo presents. We will never do it. |

I was due on the 25th, but came a little late (Dad threatened to squeeze me out because he wanted his deduction so bad, LOL). An uncle of mine was born on the 25th, and he gave my folks the "riot act" as well, so I never got cheated, though I've voluntarily done the combined gift thing a few times to my advantage.

I was born on the 4th, my son on the 11th (and a grandmother), and my mother's birthday is the 16th. Never had an issue with presents, but it sucks not to be able to do anything outdoors on my birthday due to weather.
