[quote=Anonymous]OP what you will realize as your kid gets older and he attends more bday parties is that it is completely common for parents to end up scheduling the "friend/class" party a couple weeks off from the actual birth date even if that date is not right around a major holiday.  This is due to a whole host of reasons - the venue was already booked, kid had his own conflict with sports or other activities, a friend/classmate already had a party that date, a relative (like grandparents) had conflicts, and on and on...

So if you have a class bday party for your Christmas baby in, say, mid January, you'll basically be no different than everyone else whose kids' birthdays are any random day of the year.

I'll add that January is actually a great month for scheduling kid bday parties because most folks are not particularly busy and have few conflicts -- even a lot of sports stuff is lighter.  Only downside is it needs to be an indoor party, but whatever.

So have your family celebration with the separate cake on you child's actual birthday, and then have a class/friend party (when child is older) a couple weeks later in January.  (And you can do no gifts if that's your thing, but you don't need to just because your child was born around Christmas.)  [/quote]
