In relationships, particularly for women born on this day, they give a lot but also expect a lot in return, which makes their already complicated life even more stressful.
Though they rarely experience an easy life, those born on December 24 live with their heads held high and achieve great things. They are skilled at organizing their life and keeping things in order.
