Solution from The Shire

Gary Martin offers sympathy to people with a birthday on Christmas Day. They are likely to get just one present to cover both occasions.

Our family has a partial fix for this disappointment.

My own birthday is mid year, so I play hobbit: on my birthday I give presents to the other members of the family.

So we each get a Christmas present -- and a mid year birthday present.

A spread of presents. And I enjoy shopping at a quieter time of year.
