matt Posted November 1, 2004 Report Share Posted November 1, 2004 Having just turned 30 yesterday, I was thinking about what it?s like to have my birthday on a holiday. I?ve always enjoyed being a Halloween baby. As a kid it was great because everyone got to dress up, eat lots of candy, and have a good time. Now as an adult it?s pretty much the same thing. Everyone is already in the celebration mood so it just flows. It?s always been fun. Therefore, as far as holidays go, Halloween is by far my favorite. I know I?m a bit biased, but if I were to have my druthers, I would choose Halloween over any other holiday to be born on. I was wondering if any others on this board had a birthday fall in with a holiday or any day of importance (personally or socially). And if so, what are your thoughts on it? For every one else, if you had your choice of holidays to have your birthday on, which one would it be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff W Posted November 2, 2004 Report Share Posted November 2, 2004 December 31st here, my 21st birthday was probably a blast, too bad I still don't remember it. Back when I went out and celebrated new years eve it was fun because I never had to pay for anything, now it's just another night for Live play.

Kain rising Posted November 2, 2004 Report Share Posted November 2, 2004 My due date was Christmas, but I arrived a little early on the 19th. I don't think I got shortchanged on the gifts, but sometimes I thought it would have been nice to get presents at some other time of the year.

rustyjaw Posted November 2, 2004 Report Share Posted November 2, 2004 Dec 16th here, I think I did get a little short-changed with 'combined gifts' - and like Jason said, it would be nice to have something to celebrate in, say, June!

Whooter Posted November 2, 2004 Report Share Posted November 2, 2004 December 5th, here. I don't recall ever getting short-changed, though. I guess almost three weeks apart is enough. :tu: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starhawk Posted November 2, 2004 Report Share Posted November 2, 2004 July 16th. Nearly half-way to and from Christmas. A nice distance. I always liked having a summer birthday too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orpheus Posted November 2, 2004 Report Share Posted November 2, 2004 May 7th. National Maturbation Day. woo-hoo!! (doesn't it seem like there is almost a holiday for every day of the year? at least mine wasn't made up by a great card company. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't have to worry about calling Joel though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnemaEms Posted November 2, 2004 Report Share Posted November 2, 2004 My b-day is on Feb. 17th. 3 days after Valentines day and every few years it falls on Presidents Day. I kind of like where my b-day falls. I get a gift or two for Valentine's day and then more on my b-day. Valentine's Dayu is almost like a "warm up" for my b-day. Oh, me and Michael Jordan celebrate the same birthday. -Dean- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess almost three weeks apart is enough. :tu: Lucky you, I guess 3 days makes a difference. I'm Dec 8th (The day rock and roll died) and I've always gotten the "it counts for your birthday and christmas" line or I get something small because xmas is coming up and they need to save money cause they're buying presents for everybody else. During college, it fell during dead week before finals of the fall semester, so nobody would do anything. I haven't had a good birthday in years.
