Who else is due Christmas Eve??? I don't know why but it freaks me out! Maybe I am already thinking about our 0 bank account every Christmas now! Hehe Praying for everyone's healthy happy babies!
All the birthdays in the family already run through Nov and Dec. I try to get as much shopping done as I can during the summer so I don't go crazy in the fall.
I'm due Christmas Eve, though if this one is anything like my son, it'll be New Years before he/she arrives! I am actually looking forward to having a holiday baby. There are lots of ways to make sure they don't feel overshadowed by Christmas, and it will be such a festive time of year.
Oh I feel the same way! I'm due earlier in December but I too am worried about how financially stressful it already is at Christmas. DS was born in march which is right after we always get our tax returns back so we always have money to do his bday... I'm worried about budgeting for this baby. Glad I'm not the only one who has thought of this!

Actually, there were a handful of times that when I got a 'big' present from my parents, it would be a combined birthday/Christmas present, but they always made it my decision.
Gift Examples: a baby parakeet, my own phone line (!!!), and my stereo (which I STILL have, in my garage, covered in band stickers =] )

My dd is dec 29 and I am worried about a being in hospital on Xmas and being away from my toddler. And b being even more stressed abou money than I already am at the holidays. BUT there's something sweet and romantic about having a baby for Xmas that I'm so excited about!!
Re: Due December 24??
Me too :-)

I always start Christmas shopping in October, it's so much easier, and I always have everything wrapped and bought the week before.
My b-day is 2 weeks before Christmas, and I never got 'overshadowed' by the holidays. I got twice the gifts, IT WAS AWESOME.
