Are birthdays around the holidays the best or worst?

Simply put, the answer is the best. Having a birthday just a few days away from Christmas, I feel qualified to answer this question.

December is already the most festive month of the year, which adds to the anticipation and excitement of a birthday. I conveniently was never in school on my birthday due to winter breaks, which allowed me to spend the whole day celebrating – which, as a child is a dream come true.

Receiving a birthday gift in Christmas wrapping paper or a double gift is inevitable; however, I wouldn’t trade my December birthday for any other time!
