My parents and sisters have always been pretty good about keeping birthday presents on par with other folks' birthdays, but yeah, I eventually got into the habit of making everyone pay for their portion of my bday parties when I was in high school(they were always dinner out + a movie followed by cake at my house afterward) in lieu of presents. Had a lot less trouble getting folks to pay for something like that for themselves than to buy me a bday present that required thought.

Followed by a hangover that makes you wish the world had ended?
yea, my parents pretty much gave up trying to keep my birthday even with my sisters by the time I was like.... 14. Though in their defense, I had turned into one of those people who is
absolutely impossible to find a gift for around 11, so that they managed to keep it up for a few extra years is good enough for me. I got lucky though, my childhood bestfriend and I were born like... 15-16 hours apart, and we both hit the "impossible to find a gift" stage around the same time. We basically just celebrate our birthdays together now, since no one else, except us, ever wants to do anything the week after christmas.

My brother was born on Dec. 24th. Sucks to be him.
At least for him, everyone isn't already worn out from christmas. My birthday is the 26th (my friend is the 27th). My dad is the 31st. Everyone else in my immediate family is in the summer. Somehow my sisters are July 1st (younger sister) and 2nd (older sister), my grandma is june 25, my older brother is may 20th, and my mom is august 30th. My dad and I get shafted for presents every year.
edit because I realized I forgot to say happy birthday outright:
