Please don't do this!  I spent every single one of my birthdays as a child traveling for our NY vacation, and I *hated* it!!  Maybe if I had been allowed to pick the destination I would have felt differently...but I don't think that's reasonable to let a child dictate family vacation.

OP, yes, your DD will likely have a lifetime of lame birthdays.  Mine is Dec 28.  To make matters worse, my older sister's is a few days before Christmas.  Just do your best.  It's okay to have her birthday gift be less extravagant, as long as you give her one and a card and make the day special.  And please don't use Christmas wrapping paper if you can avoid it.

You also probably won't do birthday parties on her actual birthday, since most friends will be on vacation.  That's okay.  Just pick an early December weekend and be consistent about it.

I turned out okay despite my lame birthday.  And, as an adult, there is a benefit in that I usually am off work on my birthday.[/quote]
