Having a late December birthday has its benefits and drawbacks. On the positive side, I almost always have the day off work because it coincides with a Christmas/New Year’s break. That’s one of the busiest and most exciting weeks of the year for me, and I’m lucky to get a few hours of sleep each night with all the holiday celebrations. On the other hand, my birthday was always lumped together with Christmas as a child.
It wasn’t until a few years ago that a new discovery swung my opinion about December birthdays firmly to the positive camp. My boyfriend bought me a blue pear shaped topaz pendant because it’s the December birthstone. Quite frankly, I knew next to nothing about birthstone jewelry at the time. Now that I’ve done my research, I’m planning to return the favor by getting him a men’s ruby ring come July.
