All About December Babies

• All I want for Christmas is you, baby! December-born babies may have to wait till the end of the year for their birthday, and their gifts will often come in Christmas wrapping, but they are born in a month of celebration, parties, and cheer.
• Your December-born baby is likely to have a long life. A study from the Journal of Aging Research reports that people born in December are more likely to live to 105, or even longer.

Those with December birthdays have two birthstones to choose from: Tanzanite or Blue Topaz.

The topaz represents love and affection and represents a promise of everlasting love and fidelity. It is said that anyone who wears topaz will be blessed with intelligence and strength.

Tanzanite is blue in appearance, with rich overtones of purple, and there are not many other stones quite like it.

The warm hues are associated with generosity and friendship, while wearers of tanzanite are said to be given a helping hand dealing with change.
