Quite the opposite here. My birthday is short before x-mas. When my wife was awaiting twins the date was calculated for the 26th of decembre. So we decided to invent families and friends for a bigger party at my birthday before she would have to be forced to mainly resting. But around 9:30pm it started, too much party, or just because you never now with twins. The boy was born minutes before midnight, the girl short after.
So the only curse is that only a few people remember at the birthday of the twins that it is my birthday too
And the same curse all people with a birthday around x-mas: gifts are either less or combined with x-mas gifts.
This year:
Our village is small and all agreed to a total lockdown starting 5 days before x-mas. SO x-mas and new year people could move freely. Same for the kids from relatives and co-workers for who we organized a winter camp in big heated tents. Since lockdown in Germany will be longer and no school for two more weeks the camp will be opened till end of january. Hard for 14-16 years olds without contact to others. So parents said they can stay longer, even if it means that they are no real contacts except speaking from one side of a rivelet to the other. But else it wouldn't have be allowed by authorities.
