I've never heard that, People say "Merry Christmas" even though it’s not Christmas yet. I guess they just consider the whole month of December Christmas since it’s such an important holiday.

Yes, I agree with kaitedog14. For birthdays, I've always said "happy early birthday." You could say "happy birthday in advance," which sounds like it would be good if you were in a more formal setting. I guess if you don't know when to use the latter phrase, just resort to "happy early birthday."

I would say "Merry Christmas!" or "Merry Christmas in advance!"

But, in the UK we think of December 20-31 as "Christmas", really.
