Mornings and early bedtimes
A study of Italian and Spanish university students reportedly found that those born in December were more likely to be ‘morning people’, and other studies claim they tend to fall asleep earlier as well.
What does this mean? Well, whilst it might not be the most exciting trait to boast, it can increase productivity and awareness.
Youngest in the class
Depending on what country you live in – and the associated school calendar of that country – being a December baby could make you one of the youngest in your class.
Why is this a good thing? Well, research shows that by the time your child is applying for college, it’s often the younger children outperforming the older ones!
Most likely to be a dentist
Random fact? Yes. Is it going to change your life? Probably not. Are we going to keep it in the list anyway? Absolutely.
As per The Guardian newspaper, census researchers in the UK found that December babies are the most likely to become dentists. Not a bad profession to be in at all!
More likely to be left-handed
As per research from the University of Vienna, December-born boys are more likely to be left-handed than their other-monthly counterparts.
A study looking at 13,000 adults indicated that 8.8% of men and 7.5% of women were left-handed.
Star sign
If you’re interested in astrology, you’ll know that the December birthday of your child – if indeed they’re born in that most magical of months – will decide whether they’re a Sagittarius or a Capricorn.
Fortunately, both are strong. December 1-21 means they’ll be a Sagittarius, and so likely extroverts who like to travel. 22 to 31, meanwhile, makes them a Capricorn, commonly determined and helpful.
Living longer?
Want to live to be over 100? Of course you do, who doesn’t? Well, statistically speaking, apparently being born in December gives you the best chance.
That’s right, what you lack in attention during your early years (when everyone is preoccupied with Christmas) you could easily make up for in sheer longevity.
Well, those are some things I didn’t know before. It almost makes me jealous that I’m not born in December.
