That just seems wrong.
I could possibly understand if it was one expensive, and/or massive present, but otherwise, one for their birthday, and one for christmas.
I mean- December babies often get shafted. Even if they or their families don’t celebrate Christmas, because asides the whole “one gift” thing- your own family or your friends and such are often busy in December. Lots of holidays across religions, lots of family trips and vacations and such. Wether you’re a kid or an adult it can be hard to get people together to celebrate, and if you plan to have your 21st or 30th or whatever “milestone year” birthday as some big thing like a tropical trip or cruise or whatever- yeah. Good luck. Winter travel tends to suck, holidays drive up prices and cause many or most travel methods to be packed up. Having a big once a decade bash or whatever that might cost $500-3000 or more to attend might fly in summer or such, but with their own travel and likely gift giving and celebrations most people feel the pinch around December and aren’t trying to spend loads of money on a party, not to mention people often get partied out. Their work party, a spouse…
.. or partners, family parties, celebrating Xmas eve with your partner because that’s the “big day” for them and Xmas day with yours because that’s their big day, or mixed faith families having weeks of events and such. Then you have some employers who do more than one party, and you might have various “freindsmass” parties or similar gatherings, winter events and perhaps if you have kids even more events. So people can get tired out and financially drained, and then you have the fact that winter brings snow season which for many means the additional budget and time drain of skiiing or snowboarding or ice fishing or other winter activities and trips. Speaking of- the weather in many places isn’t too friendly in December. Unless you live in a handful of areas you probably can forget a bday bbq or water park trip or such. That’s if people can travel at all or want to travel in the weather.
So it’s tough perhaps for December babies often. For some December may feel like a month long party, but only if they don’t mind sharing the spotlight and not being the center of attention the whole time. For others it can feel like they have been forgotten or left out. One December baby friend of mine had a novel strategy. They told people their birthday was in the summer and that is when they would celebrate. Better weather, and peoples schedules generally more free as well as their budgets. It worked well for them.
