A festive question for the holidays. Christmas every month means lights, gifts and family time all year. Your birthday every month means cake, parties and wishes, just for you. Which celebration would you repeat?
The case for “Have Christmas every month”
- Twelve Christmases with lights and decorations.
- Family gatherings all year.
- Everyone gets presents, not just you.
The case for “Have your birthday every month”
- A cake and a party just for you every month.
- Twelve birthday wishes each year.
- Your friends would celebrate with you.
Who picks which side
People who love family gatherings and decorations choose Christmas every month. People who love being celebrated, and kids who love cake, choose birthday every month. Parents often laugh and choose neither, imagining the cost of all those gifts.
Our take
Christmas every month, because the whole family celebrates together. A birthday every month sounds great, but twelve cakes a year might be a bit much.

Frequently asked questions
Would it stop feeling special?
Many people think so. Part of what makes holidays and birthdays special is that they happen only once a year.
Which would be more expensive?
Christmas, probably, because everyone gives gifts. Birthdays focus on one person, so they might be easier on the wallet.
