My sisters birthday is xmas eve, and for years people have bought her a joint birthday & xmas pressie of say a cd, then bought my other sis a cd for xmas.......thats not fair!
I know it shouldn't all be about pressies, but it is, especially when you're younger!
Oh and a tip....buy your birthday cards for xmas birthdays in september, as as soon as end of Oct/ start of Nov hits you have absolutely no chance of finging a decent card amongst all the xmas cards!
