Having a birthday on Christmas or even within a week of Christmas were the worst birthdays. No fault to the parents, but that's a bit too much to budget for, over such a small time frame.
Although actually on Christmas is the worst, since you could at least hope for a cake and a decent dinner if it wasn't too close to the same day.
Pffft. My birthday is Dec 25th. All my presents were "Merry Birthday/Happy Christmas" combo gifts.
And birthday parties were always a non-starter.
Those are the worst because you know that the parents are never going to double-up on presents for birthday, and presents for Christmas.
