Are your Septembers always a spendy month? Do you know a lot of people having babies, or celebrating their own birthdays in September? You may even know one or two people born on 26th September, and there’s a good reason for that. 26th September has been confirmed as the most popular birthday date on record for the past two decades!
Why is September 26th Such a Popular Birth Date?
There are a few reasons why this could be the case. The most popular one being that, if you count back nine months, the date ticks back to slap bang in the middle of Christmas and New Years. Parents might be planning a little late Christmas present, or all the late nights, parties and alcohol may be putting people in a more amorous and care-free mood than usual. Perhaps a far more sensible reason is that parents might want their children to be as old as possible when starting school, and so plan for birthdays to fall early in the academic year.
Whatever the reason this month and specific date are so popular, as we live with the ongoing consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, we’ve all learned the importance of being able to make the most of getting together with those we hold dearest and celebrating special occasions!
Lockdown has taught us a number of things. From the power of connection through any medium, the benefits to slow living and taking our foot off the gas pedal, and most importantly, that nothing compares to being together with those we love in person - particularly when it comes to celebrating milestone ages!
