What's it like to have a birthday close to Christmas?

Do you wait all year long to celebrate your birthday and Christmas and then have to wait a full year to do it all over again?

My birthday is in May. It was a great birthday as a kid because school was still on, so my friends were still around for birthday parties (something my July & August birthday friends always complained about).

Both of my kids' birthdays are within a month of Christmas. One is before and one is after. I find December and January a blur between planning for birthday parties, making cakes, Christmas and everything in between. 

So what's it like to actually have a birthday close to Christmas?

Do you combine the celebration and have a really big party? Or do you keep it all very separate?
