My birthday is on Dec. 23 and every year I have the same problems.
1. People don't show up because they are busy preparing for Christmas
2. People try to combine my birthday and Christmas presents
3. People only give me a birthday/Christmas present. (seriously My uncle gave me an Ipod so I was OK with him combining for Christmas and my birthday until Christmas came and he had gotten the exact same thing for my sister and cousins, meaning I got less D:)
4. My parents don't have money for a separate party

All this combined make me feel slightly unimportant next to the christmas holidays and make me dislike my birthday and bored during christmas

Any advice on what I should do to deal with these things?

4. I have to spend my birthday money to give people Christmas presents
 
Mines the 24th. My dads is the 23rd.

Have your birthday party towards the beginning of December. That's what I do. But everyone always gets me separate things, because a group of my friends and I do a gift exchange for Christmas, and then I get something for my birthday.
 
I had the same problem. It made me cry when I was a kid sometimes because I felt like I was forgotten about or I didn't get as much as my cousins on Christmas. It's just something you have to take, I suppose. Just be thankful that they are thinking about you. Money is hard right now and sometimes they can't pay for two big items. Although it would be nice if they got you one small item and one big item but, they seem too stupid to even think of that. And don't spend all your birthday money on their Christmas presents! I've done that before and got nothing out of it. That money was meant for you. If you simply don't have funds, then you only buy what you can afford at Christmas. Hey, they didn't get you big ticket stuff for both of your special days. Why should you do it for them? These are 2 seperate events important to you and they didn't recognize that. I think they let you down a little.
 
Honestly I hate birthdays probally for, the same reason. Mine is first week of jan so I ran into the same problem. No one would come to my party since they were broke after all the holidays. When I got into high school my mom allowed me to have my party on new years eve. Not perfect but got to hang out with my friends. Can't do to much to help but to let you know you are not the only one that gets screwed. I talk to my mom about getting me something special for each holiday, so yes I would get a, big thing at christmas for both, but would get a knick knack, blanket or something special on each day. So ask your mom to do something like that, it helps.
