Birthdays only happen every once in a year so we can’t blame other people for wanting that extra love and attention from their loved ones. From the greeting cards and personalized gifts down to your birthday party—you just want nothing but a sparkly, fun-filled day ever.

However, this isn’t always the case for people who were born in the most wonderful time of the year. In time for the most-awaited holiday—and their birthday—we listed down some of the most common things that only Christmas babies can relate to.
