Are birthdays linked to luck?
BBC News snip:

A report for the Edinburgh science festival has found a link between the perceived luck of a person and the month of their birth.

A summer-winter divide suggests that people born between March and August consider themselves luckier than those born between September and February. May was found to be the luckiest month and October the unluckiest.

People who considered themselves as lucky were thought to be skilled at noticing opportunities, listening to their initiative and maintaining positive expectations.

Me? I was born on a Christmas Day, married on a Christmas Day and gave birth to triplets on a Christmas Day. Lucky? Highly serendipitous!
