Kit Harington, aka Jon Snow, aka King in the (Post-Holiday) North, turned 38 on December 26—and he’s here to remind us that having a birthday right after Christmas is basically like being the dessert that no one has room for.
You’d think a guy who’s dodged White Walkers and brooded his way into pop culture history would handle a little birthday drama like a champ, right? Wrong. Kit has made it clear that his Dec. 26 birthday is no Winter Wonderland—it’s more like Game of Moans.
Family Drama: The Real Battle of the Bast—Oops, Birthday
“It’s always the same,” Kit lamented to W Magazine, probably while sipping a melancholy hot chocolate. “My whole family just descends on my birthday, and I get no attention.” Ouch. Imagine trying to have a heartfelt moment with your cake while your relatives are still trying to figure out who took the last slice of turkey.
And the result of this birthday chaos? “I get really grumpy and selfish,” Kit admitted. Translation: he probably goes full King Joffrey for a day.
Post-Holiday Presents: The Annual Letdown
Let’s talk gifts—or, as Kit might call them, “holiday leftovers.” “They get worse each year,” he joked about the sad pile of post-Christmas presents he receives. You can practically hear him sighing as he unwraps yet another pair of socks or a regifted fruitcake.
Kit’s final verdict? “I just don’t get enough attention.” Honestly, relatable. Everyone deserves to feel like the main character on their birthday, but Kit’s stuck playing an extra in the family Christmas saga.
A Birthday Wish for the Grump King
Despite the birthday blues, we sincerely hope Kit managed to carve out a slice of happiness (and cake) this year. Maybe someone finally gave him a gift that didn’t scream “bargain bin at the holiday clearance sale.”
Here’s to hoping Kit’s 38th year is filled with drama-free celebrations, gifts that don’t disappoint, and, most importantly, ALL the attention he so desperately craves.
