It's those like me with a january birthday who get dashed: after people have partied and spent so much money during the Holidays, I often just get a card for my birthday because it's all they can afford, and sometimes not even a card, if you see what I mean, if they're still not even sober enough to remember my birthday in the first place. And I'm not kidding, I often get nothing for my birthday because they're just too broke from Christmas (plus the taxes).
I don't consider myself lucky at all because I get very depressed during the winter and am sick of being down for every birthday. I am seriously considering not trying for a baby during the spring just so my child doesn't have to have a winter birthday (when i eventually want one).
