Did You Know This....About Birthdays

Mon, Nov 18, 2024

November has five of the rarest birthdays on the calendar! Unsurprisingly, these end-of-the-month dates (the 24th-28th) line up with Thanksgiving. Other dates on the list include Christmas, New Year’s Day, Christmas Eve, Independence Day, the day after Christmas, and the day after New Year’s. Typically, holidays have fewer births due to fewer inductions and c-sections being scheduled for those days.

The 13th is also a relatively rare birthday, with January, February, March, April, May, and November 13th all placing among the 50 least common birthdays. Superstition around Friday the 13th appears to be to blame here.
