Jeff, as person that has a birthday around Christmas it is truth that it can feel that it gets lost in the time period. MY birthday is Dec 28th, and everyone is just coming out of the Christmas stupor and looking toward new years. When I was a kid never had a party since most kids around us were going on vacation, my family did make sure that whatever i wanted for dinner that day we would do it. Heck the first time i recall anyone ever said Happy Birthday would be like when i hit 15 think.

All in all loved this mini episode and lots of great facts and as a history buff love hearing facts no mater if they are important or not. Keep up the great work, and would love to hear more stuff on Emmet Otter Christmas show. that is one special that seems to get lost in time year after year,

In Sweden, child also have name days which or sort of like little birthday celebrations. The idea is that your pick a name day half way around the year from your real birthday. I have also seen "half birthdays" being celebrated for holiday babies. I had a friend whose birthday was on New Year's Eve and he felt the same way.
