Every baby is a blessing—but according to a recent survey, there’s one day parents unanimously agree is the worst day of the year to give birth. Can you guess what it is?
Drumroll, please… December 25th—Christmas Day—tops the list.
Why Parents Say Christmas Day Is the Worst for Birthdays
Parents love the idea of a holiday baby, but when that holiday is Christmas, things get complicated fast:
- Double Celebrations, Double Stress: Planning a birthday party during the busiest holiday season can be overwhelming.
- Gift Overlap: Kids born on Christmas often receive fewer gifts because friends and family combine them into one.
- Busy Schedules: Guests are usually tied up with family traditions, making it hard to throw a birthday party.
In short, while a Christmas baby sounds magical, many parents find it stressful.
Other “Worst” Dates Parents Mentioned
Aside from Christmas Day, parents said these dates are also tough:
- December 24 (Christmas Eve) – Same challenges as Christmas Day.
- January 1 (New Year’s Day) – Everyone’s recovering from celebrations, and most places are closed.
- Major Holidays like Thanksgiving or the Fourth of July – Hard to get family and friends together for a birthday celebration.
The Best Time to Have a Baby?
On the flip side, parents say spring and early summer birthdays are the easiest. Why? Perfect weather for outdoor parties, and no big holidays to compete with.
How Parents Make It Special for Christmas Babies
If your little one was born on December 25th, don’t worry—it can still be magical! Here are some tips:
- Separate Celebrations: Have a dedicated birthday party on a different day.
- Birthday-Only Gifts: Make sure family and friends keep birthday presents separate from Christmas gifts.
- Special Traditions: Create unique birthday traditions so your child feels celebrated.
Having a Christmas baby might not be ideal for party planning, but at the end of the day, every birthday is special when it’s about love and family.
