Answer 10

No, but LOTS of deaths on Christmas, or Christmas Eve, or Boxing Day.

Answer 11

About five in my tree I think. Closest are an aunt and a cousin, and recently another cousin (daughter of the xmas aunt) informed me that her step-niece is also has a christmas birthday.

Answer 12

Yes, I have a lot too, it seems statistically improbable.  More than births, in particular, marriages; maybe they fixed the books a bit back then?  Or are people interpreting baptisms as birth dates - baptisms often occurred at Christmas.

Answer 13

My daughter was born on Christmas Eve, Dec 24th.

However, on Christmas Day I have:

4GG Christina Schlötz

7GG Jannetje Stevens Van Voorhees

2GG Aunt Catherine Scheu

4GG Aunt Mary Sheldon

Interestingly all women.

Answer 14

I have quite a few marriages & baptisms on Xmas Day but the only birth was for my great uncle who was appropriately named Christopher.
