Plus I imagine some people even forget it’s your birthday due to the focus being on Christmas 😟🎅🏻

Yes, especially Isaac Newton, the incredible genius who invented Calculus! It's also important for everybody to remember that Christmas is not about presents but about celebration of birth and rebirth, the coming and going of seasons, of reaping what has been produced in the summer.
The German tradition of the Yule log, burning for 12 days, representing endurance. The birth of Christ, representing rejuvenation and hope. The luxurious eating, representing the refreshing idea of dissolving hierarchies in compromise of community.
It's all so beautiful.

@Harriet03 Hahaha
Reminds me of a thing from an episode of the Goon Show:
Eccles:
Oh, yeah! And I'll get it [the job of BBC announcer] too, you'll see! I'm wearing a Cambridge tie!
Greenslade:
You? You were at Cambridge?
Eccles:
Yeah!
Greenslade:
What were you doing there?
Eccles:
Buying a tie.

If you actually read the Bible, assuming any of it is true, then you'll find that Jesus was born in September, not December.

@PikachuTrainer I said 'observed day' for a reason ;)
I always thought he would have been born about Easter time (rather ironically), given there are shepherds in the fields etc in Luke's version.
