AS someone who has their birthday in December, generally you can’t help but feel you’ve got a bit of a rough deal.
Not only is it practically impossible to plan a party (“oh sorry, it’s my work Christmas do that night”) but most people think it’s perfectly acceptable to double up on gifts (it’s not).
But apparently there is some benefit to being born in the same month as our Lord.
Various scientific (and some not-so-scientific) studies heap praise on having a December birthday, for a range of different reasons.
The best one being, we live longer.
According to a study published in the Journal of Ageing Research, having a birthday in the final month of the year means you’re more likely to remain on this earth beyond the age of 100 (up to 105, to be precise).
Which, let’s face it, means more birthdays for us. Yay!
We’re also nicer people. A survey of college students in America revealed people born in December complain less than others and are less prone to mood swings.

We’re also healthier. A study of 1,749,400 people from the United States suggests December babies have a lower risk of cardiovascular disease.
According to its principal investigator, the findings are down to “seasonal variations”.
As if that wasn’t good enough, we’re also destined to become dentists. Researchers from the Office of National Statistics found a statistical link between birth month and certain professions, reports The Mirror.
December babies are also natural born athletes, according to a study in the International Journal of Sports Medicine.
Apparently it’s all down to us being exposed to more vitamin D during our mum’s summer pregnancy.
We’re also morning people (now this is one claim I dispute).
Research published in the US National Library of Medicine found people born in December are more likely to love early nights (true) and springing out of bed early (not so true).

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.
Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”
Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”

SATC star Kim swears by gym sessions with Russian kettle bells (traditional cast-iron weights) and the South Beach Diet to give her the body she wants. To avoid overeating, Kim has a radical diet trick – squirting lemon juice on her leftovers – so she won’t carry on picking.
Kim says: “I am no super-thin Hollywood actress. I am built for men who like women to look like women.”
