[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Two strikes against her in the gift department. 1, she's the younger sister (close in age) and 2) she was born a few days after Christmas. Seriously, I have no idea what to get her. I've been told to never, ever combine birthday and Christmas gifts, which we'll do, but I feel like she's always going to get the short end of the stick. Either her sister will already have (and hand down) "big" gifts like a bike or she'll get it for Christmas (or her birthday, but then opposite is true...) DD is not really old enough to notice yet, but that day is soon coming. Has anyone successfully mitigated this?[/quote] Do her birthday party in early December before you put up a tree. Give her whatever you'd give her if her birthday was in June. You need to separate her celebration from Christmas. In her actual birthday she gets a family dinner and a day out with you doing whatever she'd like.[/quote]
