Just Ask Elizabeth: Christmas Birthday

My birthday falls each year around the Christmas holidays. Any suggestions for making my birthday a great one?

Dear My December Birthday Stinks,

You are lucky to have two celebrations in one month! Since everyone is ramping up for Christmas anyway, one more celebration is a good one. Set aside time for two separate celebrations because you deserve it. You can also celebrate your half birthday in June as many other December birthday honorees do. Make that your big “event” and keep it low key in December. Never ever skip your birthday and celebrate whenever you want! Happy Birthday!!
