Why December Babies Are Actually Pretty Special!

December babies are more likely to live longer, be nicer people, better friends and probably will even become a dentist!

People born in December are more likely to live to 105 – or even longer, a study published in the Journal of Aging Research found.

Their birthdays may be last in the year, but they’re more likely to have lots of them, shares The Mirror.

December babies are nicer people

A survey of US college students shows people born in December complain less than others – and have less frequent mood swings. So they’re probably nicer to be friends with too.

December babies are less likely to contract heart disease

December babies have a lower risk of cardiovascular disease, a study of 1,749,400 people from the United States suggests

The study’s principal investigator thinks the findings are down to “seasonal variations”, the Washington Post reported.

More likely to be a dentist!

One researcher found a statistical link between birth month and certain professions.

December babies were more likely to become dentists.

They are morning people

Research has found that people born in December are more likely to enjoy getting an early night AND waking up early.

They are basically getting on with stuff while the rest of us are still bleary eyed and making coffee.

I don’t believe in these type of studies.

I really do not like sweeping generalisations – every person regardless of when they are born has special qualities that make them unique.

My brother was born in December – he was a night shift worker, hated dentists, died at 82 and had heart problems all his life.

That’s interesting but it could be due to many other factors, right?

Has any research been done in other countries. What % of those born in December were actually checked? It’s a bit worrying how accurate this is when you don’t know the population of those born in December..

I know plenty of December people who aren’t morning people! Not sure if I believe in this. I think all babies are special

Does it depend on location? Sounds like a myth

I wonder if the live longer applies to here if the researcher put it down to seasonal variations
