December Birthday Kit: Keep the Birthday Separate from Christmas, with Wrapping Paper

A 12-page printable kit for the parent of a child born in the weeks around Christmas, who has had "one present for both" and wants this year's birthday to be its own day.

It is about protecting the birthday, not planning a party. Inside: two pages of birthday-only wrapping paper (confetti, and cupcakes with candles) with no snowflakes, no stars and no Christmas colours; three versions of a polite note for relatives, written to be sent before they shop (warm and short, one for the relative who has always combined the two, and a text message); two lists, a Christmas list and a birthday list, with nine cut-out gift tags marked for the birthday; a large "birthday room" door sign that says the tree stays out; a birthday-morning interview of ten questions to repeat each year; a "what happened on my birthday" page for the child to fill in with sources, left blank so every fact is one the family has checked; a half-birthday party plan for June, with the date rule worked out (including 31 December, and early-January birthdays, whose half-birthday falls in July); a page of ways to make the day its own; and a page for the birthday kid.

The kit is for birthdays between about 15 December and 5 January, printed in early December. Prints on US Letter or A4. It gives no advice about a child's feelings or health.
