This is the worst day to have your birthday…

When you’re younger, you look forward to your birthday but as the years go by, you tend to hide from the fact that you’re another year older.

But those who have their birthday on December 16th have apparently drawn the shortest straw as recent research has found it to be the worst day to be born.

According to the Independent, this is because the weather is so miserable and it’s too close to Christmas which means it is overshadowed and people have too much on to celebrate properly.

Over a quarter of those who have their birthday on this day receive their present (as it’s often a joint one) in festive paper.

At the opposite end of the spectrum, July 28th is the best day to have your birthday as people have that summer feeling.
