Those born into Christian families on this day will inevitably have felt themselves marked out as special from an early age, yet they will also have learned to compromise: today’s celebrations are not focused exclusively on them. In fact, they receive less attention on their birthdays than their siblings and friends, and may feel that they are missing out. These dual feelings often persist throughout the lives of December 25 people, who are notable for their determination to achieve ambitious aspirations and, usually, their success in life.
Although they are pragmatic and objective, the concepts that fire them reflect an imaginative and progressive outlook. Whether they are drawn to the potential inherent in science, business, politics or the arts, they show a real ability to combine practical skills with intellectual insight. They often make especially effective researchers because of this combination of skills and their aptitude for organization and dedica- tion to their personal goals.
Individualistic as they are, December 25 people also have a sense of social responsibility (especially when they were born in the Chinese year of the snake). This leads them to enlist the support of others for causes they believe will illuminate or otherwise benefit the lives of those around them, or humanity as a whole. Originality, resourcefulness and charisma contribute to their leadership qualities and their easy popularity. However, their ambition, strength of conviction and high standards may place a heavy burden of expecta- tion upon those whose interest they have most deeply at heart. They should remember to show their loved ones how much they care for them.
