Forget Jingle Bells. If Christmas has an anthem it should be Marvin Gaye’s ‘Let’s Get It On.’
It seems that Christmas Eve is the busiest day of the year for, well, getting busy. How do we know this? It’s all in the math. The New York Times has a chart that shows how popular each birthday is, ranking every day of the year from 1 to 366. The folks over at the Atlantic Wire stuck this data into Discovery Health’s conception calculator and – voila! – determined when most babies are conceived.
The most popular birthday is September 16, which means the most popular day for making babies is Christmas Eve. The third most popular birthday? September 23. Count back and you’ll discover that the third most popular date of conception is New Year’s Eve!
Now, obviously this isn’t an exact science because, as most moms know, babies rarely come exactly when they’re supposed to. My daughters both finally arrived 2 very long weeks past their due dates. However, when you consider that the 10 most popular birthdays of the year all fall between September 9 and September 24, it would seem that the Christmas season really is the most wonderful time of year for a lot of couples.
The Atlantic Wire’s very unofficial study backs up previous research which has shown that the winter months are the most popular for conceiving while the hot, humid summer months prove far less fertile. I guess it only makes sense, really: A cozy fire, a cup of eggnog, your favorite TV show on holiday hiatus… it’s a recipe for a romance.
Winter didn’t prove to be all that romantic for me, though – both my girls were conceived in early summer.
When were your kids conceived?
