Every one if my life who gets me any sort of gift… it’s always a fucking “combo gift” for my birthday and the holidays. It’s not like its a whole lot of people… mainly my family and gf but its still annoying as hell. Don’t get me wrong, I definitely appreciate that they’re getting me something at all, but it’s not like they put more thought into it or spend extra to get me a super big gift…so it’s not like when February, March, or whatever rolls around I can say oh remember when I got you this back in December… ya that counts for now too. No, instead I gotta go out and get something else.
People buy him a gift and call it a Birthday and Christmas gift.
Just buy them a card, and say “thanxxxx for the memories”…
Ohhh. Doesn’t bother me. My b-day is 17th and its all combined together. Its not all that bad.
so basically you’re bitching that you don’t get big enough presents because your birthday is near xmas?
No, I could care less about the size of the presents. I guess the best way to put it is the presents are what they should be for say my birthday… but they’re for both. So I’m going around getting everyone a similar sized present for xmas or w/e… but then when their birthday rolls around I have to go out and get them something else.
on that night your dad should have said “shut up bitch swallow” and just let her have it the month after =)
but anyway since you we’re born, Happy Birthday !!!
my ex’s b-day was the 20th also… she always bitched about that cuz of the same reasons. I understand where you’re coming from… but from the gift giver side i would of rather bought her 1 NICE something then a few things for one occasion and some other stuff for the other.
kinda late on this but, that sucks
its the relative’s who you’d love to hit up twice for the gifts, like the grandparents 50$ for your birthday and another 50$ for xmas would be great.
Instead its “this is for your birthday and christmas”
yeah man that Blows.
the wifes bday is the 6th of jan, its wonderful…
So is mine and it BLOWS
WAAAHHH I DON’T GET ENOUGH FREE STUFF!
my birthday is on the 20th also. Same thing happens to me.
dec 28th here…alwayssssss happens like OP. the GF makes it a specific point to make it a separate occasion though.
just tell everybody you plan to celebrate your birthday in march so hold your birthday gifts until then.
it will totally screw with their plans.
get over it, mines the 23rd
