So, did she eat ham for Christmas?

Every year.
Mine's November 2nd, so my birthday "presents" from society are pretty much limited to elections (November 2nd is the earliest possible date for Election Day in the US, as it is defined as "The first Tuesday after November 1st.") So, on occasion, I'd get a bonus day off for my birthday, too.
On the other hand, apparently November 2nd is an extremely popular date for weddings, because I've gone to several over the years that fell on my birthday. On the plus side, that meant lots of free booze and an excuse to wear a cummerbund.

My niece's birthday is on December 20th. She just has a party in June and sometimes tries to scam a second gift out of us.

My son's is 26 Dec.
EVERYBODY is burnt-out on the whole "going to parties" thing, and often tapped-out for giving-presents. Really sucked for him, as a youngster. Often, friends were away on winter-vacation trips.
We always made sure he had something from us to open on his actual birthday. Some years we gave a really-big combined gift, and then a little pro-forma thing or minor accessory to the Big Gift. Usually we tried to do a more-even split, or even a bigger gift on the 26th, so it wouldn't be a let-down.
But getting a party with lots of friends -- or even his few best friends -- was ALWAYS a challenge.

Smart kid.
Dina:
As she should. My closest ones always gave me 2 gifts. Hubby still gives me 2 (and I give him one for Xmas, of course)
