If you have someone in your life with a December birthday, you've probably heard the stories.  Their loved ones tend to forget about their big day with all the hustle and bustle that surrounds the Holiday Season.

They get ripped off.  Some wonder why they would get them a birthday present if they're already giving them a Christmas gift, right?

Turns out there are a number of advantages to being born in December.

I'm reading a report on Shared.com on multiple studies that find December babies sleep well and grow up to be happy "morning people".

Studies also show December babies are happier than most, they have healthier hearts and tend to live longer than the rest of us.

Another study found kids born in December are most likely to be the smartest students in the class.

So, while some may not receive birthday AND Christmas gifts, it's apparent being born in December is a gift.
