Jonathon Delacour: I know that those of us who have birthdays close to Christmas sometimes wish we'd been born around the middle of the year instead so that our birthday celebrations wouldn't get lost in the pre-Christmas panic or the post-Christmas torpor (in Australia anyway).

So I'm proposing that anyone born between November 24 and January 24 is entitled to a half-year birthday—with Mark's birthday and mine setting the boundaries for the half-year birthday period of grace.

Being born on December 21st, I definately understand the sentiment.  When I was young, my sister once asked me if I would mind if she combined my gifts for that year.  I said I didn't, as long as she didn't mind me combining hers.

Suddenly, she didn't think it was a good idea.  She was born in August.

However, having hit the big four-oh milestone last year, I'm with Burningbird.  Skippinging alternate birthdays sounds appealing - they are coming too darned fast these days anyway.
