I'm a December baby myself (16th) and my sister who is the 17th but two years older and we absolutely love it. It's always my favourite month of the year and just a magical time! Just hoping for my own they are not born on Christmas day itself but will take anything else. Due date is boxing day.
I’m due on 24th but will be having an elective due to previous emergency c-section so will be earlier. I’m planning to make sure we do something special each year for their birthday when they’re older they can pick what they want to do what they want for dinner etc just like I’ll do with my June baby and what my mum did for us. Just make it a special day all about them.
I’m a December baby and my little boy is due on my birthday (18th). It was a little hard when I was a teenager as places got booked up for parties pretty quickly and I felt like it was just such a busy time of year but that being said I’ve always loved having my birthday in December. I love all the events and festivities and it just seems magical x
I’m due in December, but was born in June myself and loved being a summer baby and wanted the same! But that hasn’t worked out, so I’m going to make the best of it! I’m due 20th December
I’m due 31 December so I think this will be a Xmas or NY baby 😬 I feel a bit bad
I love having a December birthday! Such a magical time of year with so much to do, Christmas markets and Santa visits.
If our baby is born on Xmas day, Xmas Eve or Boxing Day we’re planning to celebrate her birthday later in the year, summer if she wants or even a couple of weeks later x
My first was due Christmas Day, but came 2nd January, I have told people from the start that they’re different events, no birthday present in Christmas wrapping paper and as soon as Christmas is finished I take the tree down and get rid of anything Christmassy and make it all about her birthday. This baby is due 14th December so will be making sure everything is very split too xx
I’m due Christmas Eve and can’t wait. All my other children are summer babies so can’t wait for this one to come. I love Christmas being all magical and this just makes it even more special
Yes!! My baby wasn’t planned, and if she had been I would have avoided getting pregnant in March for this reason alone! I’m due on the 12th and so anxious she’ll come late and even closer to Christmas. I’d like to avoid putting Xmas decs up until after her birthday to separate the 2 events but that really depends how close to Xmas she arrives
I’m due the 23rd too! As long as you make sure baby’s birthday is celebrated separately to Christmas he’ll be happy. I have a close friend who was born Christmas Day and we always make an extra effort to do something for her birthday (usually earlier in December) and I think her family split Christmas Day in half so half is just her birthday celebrations and half is just Christmas.
My daughter is a December baby at 4th December and she doesn’t mind it. This one on the other had is due 31st December! So gunna be an interesting new years 😂🤦🏼♀️
I have a December baby and another due in December. I’ve had a lot of friends and a brother that was born on Christmas Day who hated being Christmas baby. I’ve made a firm separation of the two. He gets bigger presents for his birthday so he knows it’s a special day and he still gets smaller things for Christmas.
Saaaame!! I just hope baby comes before Xmas - people will still be up for a party. After Xmas everything dies!! 😂😂

Mine is an elective section on 23rd and feeling quite guilty. However, after IVF to conceive our first baby, we're very grateful for surprise #2 being our little Christmas miracle ❤️
Due 29th Nov so likely to have a December baby. My first is early January and I feel like that might be worse!
@Emily I’m 31st December 😂🤦🏼♀️
I have the same due date as you and I’m born on Christmas Day myself! Not the best birthday as it falls on Christmas Day however a December birthday in general is fine - my family go out of their way to make it special for me and always have
My middle son was due Xmas day and he came on December 20th. He's not bothered about being close to Xmas and his birthday is always separate and made a big deal of. I think he will take advantage it as he gets older ( hes 11 now ) and ask for a joint Xmas and birthday present so he gets a more expensive gift 😅 Baby Girl is due December 3rd. X
@Becky I wanted to do this but he came.on the 20th. For his birthday when he was little we would cover the tree in birthday banners which he loved. His little birthday tree
I am a December baby, as is my first born. I am also due in December again - I know poor timing on our behalf 🤣 I always make sure, regardless of what date the birthday is that, that day is dedicated to their birthday, and even if the baby comes on Christmas Eve or Christmas day there is nothing stopping you and family celebrating Christmas on Boxing Day etc. My family understands completely so hopefully yours would too. You just have to find what works for you and your family!
