Make it a week long celebration. I have to deal with something similar with Lilly. Her birthday is 5 days after Christmas. This year she gets Christmas at Mom's, Christmas at Dad's, Christmas in Arizona, and then a couple of birthday parties. I've just let it turn into a week long celebration of presents. Calvin is actually jealous of her. I'm sure that when she gets older, she may want to draw a distinction between her birthday presents and Christmas - and then maybe we'll go to the 1/2 birthday thing. Something similar happens with Hannah in that her birthday is the beginning of August when all the kids are out of school. It was very hard to get kids to come to a birthday party (can't pass out invites in class) So we let her have a 'birthday' sleepover/party for Halloween. Do whatever is most fun for Tallyn :) Merry Christmas! I say let her open birthday presents all week until Christmas – if you have birthday presents arriving late. Make it a week long celebration.

As they got older, the need and desire to separate their birthdays from the Christmas holiday grew stronger. Simple solution -- celebrate your half birthday! Seemed to work great for them...
