For those of us born in December, we share a bond that is unique because we have the first day of Winter, Christmas and New Year’s Eve packed into 31 days. After Thanksgiving, we are moving nonstop until Christmas and lucky enough if we’re fortunate enough to take time to celebrate your birth.
Esquire Magazine published, The Christmas Birthday Blues, by Bob McKinnon that was published on December 25,2021. He has an interesting point of view about being a December baby which is hard for a child to understand and emotionally challenging for some adults who are spent.
Last Friday, I was cornered by two coworkers who my relationship with depends on what it is. They told me that I was attending the Christmas party and doing the gift exchange which for a minute sounded like fun. Today, my Holiday anxiety kicked in and have thought of ways to get out my commitment. At this moment, I have decided to “suck it up” and be an adult.
For my December birthday friends, your anxiety is real. You are valued, you are unique and you are strong so don’t ever forget.
Yours Truly,
