Does your child have a birthday close to a holiday in November or December? Consider throwing a “Half-Birthday Party” during summer. Kids with birthdays close to Christmas, Hannukah, Kwanzaa, Yule, etc. often feel that they are missing out; especially, when they see their siblings and friends getting more elaborate parties during the other months.

  

Often their friends are traveling during the holidays and are not around to celebrate a late December Birthday party. That’s why throwing a Half-Birthday party during summer is a fabulous custom for children who celebrate their special day close to a winter holiday. And June is a great month for a big Half-Birthday celebration!
