I know none of us have December babies, but maybe a sibling of LO does and you've been in this situation.
I'm side eyeing my cousin hard. We don't have a great relationship and I disagree with a lot of her parenting choices. She did not have a first birthday party for her daughter. She got a lot of grief for it from the family. She's now having one a month after her actual birthday. She says in her facebook invite that they are having it now because they wanted her birthday to be separate from Christmas. I was born 3 days before 4th of July and loved it. Your child's birthday is your child's birthday. Would you move your child's birthday to avoid a holiday?
Re: Would you do this?
This could be a "bitches eating crackers" situation for you. You just don't like the woman or how she parents.
I might have a small family birthday dinner on the actual birth date & then a larger party later.

To underscore my earlier point about 12 mo being a long time for a tot to wait: in late oct, my bow 4-year old (then 3) with a late dec. birthday said:
"But mama, what if I pass away before my birthday?"
A year feels like an eternity when you are 3.

I really don't have an issue with moving birthdays away from a holiday. Holidays are stressful enough without having to plan a birthday party, too.
