* ''Manga/WitchWatch'': Keigo's birthday is January 3rd, right in the middle of New Year's celebrations. Although his housemates seem to have forgotten the fact before he brings it up, causing him to act coolly in response, it's revealed that [[NotSoForgottenBirthday they were actually faking]], having already made preparations with a cake taking into account business closures for the holiday. However, a crescent-shaped decoration on the cake causes Keigo to unleash [[SplitPersonality Wolf]], who eats the entire cake in one bite, [[GagEcho causing his housemates to now act coolly in response]].

Not so for these folk. Unlucky for them, their birthdays just so happen to coincide with larger, widely celebrated occurrences like national holidays and annual events. Think you'd get double the presents for a [[UsefulNotes/{{Christmas}} Dec. 25th birthday]]? Think again, you're more likely to get just one to cover both occasions. Maybe you thought you'd at least get a party. Not so if you have a New Year's Eve birthday; your celebration is likely rolled into larger celebrations for the coming year, if not [[ForgottenBirthday forgotten entirely]]. God forbid your birthday is on a day of remembrance for a national tragedy, and let's not forget about those poor sad saps born on UsefulNotes/LeapDay, whose birthdays technically don't even exist 75% of the time. In extreme cases, the character may have NeverHadABirthdayParty since their friends and family choose to prioritize the holiday.
