Loving the herd life
One of my good friends was born the day after Christmas. She said even her husband's family forgets about it. 
When we lived near each other, we always hung out on her birthday. Now that we live in different states, I make sure to get her two very separate and different gifts... one for Christmas and one for her birthday.
Someone lumping both holidays together might not be a big deal if one doesn't particularly care for their birthday. My husband is like that. But most of the people I know enjoy their birthday and enjoy people doing things for them so it would be a bummer for them to be mashed together. I know I wouldn't like that!
