My birthday is November 9th.

When I was a nipper it was my birthday just after bommie night, and xmas certainly didn't start until the end of November.

Now xmas is - well, now, it appears.

Not really.
People would give me one normal sized present, and say 'that's for your xmas too'.

i mean, it's not like my birthday came as a surprise. It was teh same bastard date every year. They should have been able to plan for it.

DJ's birthday is in April, and nobody ever gave him an easter egg and said 'and that's for your birthday too'.
