Is it socially unacceptable to just change your birthday?
While an odd question, I ask due to a common and recurring thought I have. I was born in December, and for years I have had to stick with a cold, wet and miserable month when absolutely everything is closed, not seasonal for winter or expensive. I no longer speak to family members consistently, nor friends who knew of my true birthday, and plan to meet new people. Those I know now do not know what time my birthday is and sometimes pester me. I was wondering if it would be socially unacceptable to tell them it was during the warmer months, when I can do things that I would like to do for my birthday with friends. I do not want to do something that could be deemed unacceptable or damage relationships if people found out, but it's just a birthday. To me, I don't see birthdays as something that's really that important, so I am quite confused about why it might be seen as deceptive. It has the same effect, just at a different time, surely?
