that way (though I have also heard of kids who were born close to
Christmas actually benefiting by getting larger presents).
Now the best time for a birthday might be in early to mid January, so
the parents get to buy your presents at the after Christmas sales...
Of sometime in late spring after the parents get their tax refund (and
the toy stores start clearancing out all the "winter" toys such as LEGO
sets).
