Silly and probably obvious question CC, but do you get people giving you a 'combinbed' gift for your birthday and Christmas?  This happens to several folk I know, and it's so so so rude and thoughtless IMO.  I mean, what would they think if their birthday or their kids' birthdays were in March and May, and you said 'here's their Christmas pressies, AND birthday gift combined...' They would think you were mad... Yet people do it if your birthday is near Christmas.  One of my cousin's kids is Jan 3rd and almost EVERYONE forgets him.  Poor lad... it's cuz it's 'still Christmas...'  (sort of...)

Awww, thats so mean   Like I said, you wouldnt DREAM of doing that to them would you?  if their birthday is like June or March or whatever, so why do people think it's OK to do it to people with birthdays near Christmas?

I'm the only November one so far

 

Re the nearly Christmas ones, I think it's mean. I used to know someone who went out of their way to spoil their child who was very near Christmas. I also know of combined pressie One friends mum in law gave one combined to the child near Christmas but his bother got 2 seperate pressies - not fair! It's ok if they're 18 or 21 and it's something really big I think ...
