Not easy being a Christmass Baby, My poor son in law was born on Christmass day, I do try to remember that and give a gift, with the Christmass gifts that are apart as a separate gift.  Even his family forgets to put happy birth Day on any cards or gifts.

With the season in full swing those born a few days before Christmass get left out.   

I am born Christmas Eve, my brother the 27th.  I assure you, any gift, no matter how cheap, wrapped in birthday paper, instead of Christmas paper is well-appreciated.

So now we all have to question just what the Hell was going on in March-early April in your

 parents lives.

Hubby calls himself a New Years EVE Baby as he was born in October.

I have to say something was going on in March of the year I was born in December.   What no big hollidays, parents are not Irish so no partys for them, unless they attended someones party and drank too much green beer.

Funny how we can look back and have a rough date when we concevied our children, yet to even think about how and when we were concieved is something we don't even want to think about.   OH gross, mom and dad had sex---- not to even think about.

but few kids over the age of 8 make out a list of what they want to give others, be it home made gifts, Mow the lawn for grandpa, spend allowance on a bag of candy for their siblings
  You know, Vesta, that's a very good idea as a Christmas activity to do with the kids.  Forget about what you want, what would you like to give this year?  And yeah, there's always free labor, if the kid doesn't have a dime. 

Anyway, I don't think Chuck is on the hate Walmart bandwagon, I think he's trying to drum up business for his big banker pals down there in NYC.  "Don't use layaway!  Put it on BofA!"
