Irradiating something to get rid of it...while irradiating your whole body in the process. Yeah, fair enough. I've found that Christmas is less fun in my adult life, haha.

    Oh, there is no "at least when you're a kid" about my brother. xD He's still sour about it. But for fair reason. As he's gotten older he's had to help prepare for Christmas on his birthday so it got worse. xD Poor thing. I spent a bit more on his birthday than I did my other siblings, because he does a lot for me and I know how cut up he gets about when his birthday is. xD Yes, it really is! Kas and I went all out last year and spent a ridiculous amount in each other; over $200 each. That did not happen this year. xD We were like "Let's learn from our mistakes..." XD Oh yeah, that sounds a bit scary. I actually don't like it when people watch me open presents because I'm a little scared I'll give the wrong reaction. XD
    It's gotta suck to have Christmas on your birthday. I'm sure it's not like you get double duty with presents either. But yeah, Christmas has a bit more of a magical feel as a kid, whereas when you're grown up, it feels like it's a bit more work to prepare for things, but you can still have some fun with it.

    Meanwhile, off hand, I've had my birthday fall on Easter Sunday a few times (birthday is April 8th). Getting Easter candy and presents on the same day is quite a deal as a kid, though. :3

    Absolutely! And his partner's family does Christmas on Christmas Eve, so he always goes to a Christmas function on his birthday...which sucks. xD Yeah, true! Of course I still have fun, but it's less fun now that I mostly know what I'm getting and I haven't believed in Santa for a long time. XD

    Absolutely. xD I've known people who gave their children presents on Easter which was weird to me because we only got a few chocolates and that was it. I was so envious when my friend in grade 6 got Pokemon cards for Easter. XD And like 3 million tonnes of chocolate.
