When's the Worst time to have a birthday?

[joeyh3 153]

April 20th (mine haha)  Everyone focuses on smoking pot, Hitler, or bombings.... fun night lol

Anything around Christmas tends to be trivial.  Despite everyones best intentions, the holidays are exhausting and there is little time, money or energy to celebrate a birthday at that time.

 

Don't forget Deepwater Horizon and the Bay of Pigs.

 

That's my birthday as well

I guess if you're a materialistic person, you would say that it's not good to have it near Christmas. Other than that, I'm not sure. I wouldn't mind having a birthday on any other month or day (maybe Halloween I would lol).

[EpicEnergy 23,221]

At Christmas, because then those who give you presents use the excuse that your birthday presents are your Christmas presents.

[Emerald Heart 24,938]

April 1st.

April effing Fools day.

I think it speaks for itself 

 

[DubWolf 17,272]

When you're dead, of course  .

[Lucky Bolt 35,064]

Christmas maybe? I dunno. 

[Cagey 4,248]

I’d say any time in December because people tend to lump it in with Christmas and Hanukkah and forget about it among the holiday hype. 

[Oblivion 20,267]

My birthday is Jan 13th, so its always colder than shit, not a very pleasant time to have a birthday to say the least....

[Splashee 28,566]

Absolutely Christmas. You never get presents, but you get Christmas gifts instead, but like everyone else.

[RaraLover 10,414]

I guess during Christmas time, where people give presents that count for both your birthday and Christmas.

[Yakamaru 3,127]

I was gonna say Christmas..

But I'm going to say the day before or after. Seeing as it's already close enough to Christmas there's no point in celebrating things two entirely separate things in a row, two days in a row.

Getting birthday presents on Christmas. And you don't even know which presents are your Christmas ones or your birthday ones. >:

[O-78 28,607]

I'd say any day within a month of Christmas.

[Splashee 28,566]

When all your siblings have exhausted the birthday budget for the year

[ExplosionMare 18,066]

When you’re a kid and it’s during the summer and you can’t celebrate it at school

I know a YouTuber with that birthday but he said he was born on a Good Friday so he has that going for him.

[DixonTheAdversary 1,632]

Aside from February 29th or April 1, I'm not sure there is a bad day to have a birthday. Halloween maybe?

[Envy 6,170]

As someone whose birthday is right after Christmas, I see a lot of assumptions made in this topic. Of course, maybe I've just been spoiled throughout my life, and I have no doubt that what has been mentioned here does happen, especially in poorer families... But for me? I've always gotten Christmas presents and then separate birthday presents the next day. And we have always separated my birthday and Christmas separately.

I can...confirm.

Being born on Leap Day like my grandpa meant that his actual birthday only came around once every four years, the other three his birthday just straight up didn't exist

February 29th 

You'd have to be 72 to have a beer

Is your grandpa younger than your parents?

Heh, no he just celebrated his birthday the day before on years there wasn't a leap day 

[Astralshy 27,023]

I think there are these three little dates which are .. not so good to have a birthday on

• 29th of February
• Christmas
• 1st of April

 

[Clawdeen 14,918]

December. As a kid we all thought it would be great to have a December birthday because of the whole 2x the presents with Christmas. But as an adult who has to worry about money it sucks when you know people with December birthdays. Makes the hole in your wallet from holiday shopping even larger. 

 

[Flying Pencil 3,024]

February 29 or during a global pandemic

[ZiggWheelsManning 10,717]

St. Patrick's Day, you don't want to be caught not wearing green  

[TheRockARooster 51,808]

I would say at Christmas time, Easter time or April Fool’s.
