People who say "I've got you a combined birthday AND Christmas present" really piss me off.
Ignoring the materialistic side of things, if you can't be arsed to separate the two events just because they happen to be close to each other, or even on the same day, then please just fuck off. I wouldn't get someone an extra large chocolate egg just because their birthday happened to be 'around Easter', so what makes other people assume it's OK to be stingy in this instance? Hint: it's 12 months to the next birthday, either start saving now, or keep an eye out for something that might make a nice gift for that person who didn't have any real choice in the matter of which month they were born in, eh?

I'm going to give you an Easter Egg for your birthday now.

Well, they will probably be on sale around that time anyway.
