Actually, I think it is going to far. I think it's ridiculous to cancel your plans because "only" 3 of your friends want to go. Make the best of it with the 3 friends. You'll have a better time with the 3 of them than with an entire group.
And besides, your birthday is what YOU make of it. You can't depend on other people to make it "not suck". If the day sucks, it's your own fault, not anyone elses. You are responsible for your own happiness.
And besides, having a birthday in December sucks to begin with. Everyone is already busy making holiday plans, visiting other family and friends. Be thankful for the friends who do want to spend your "landmark" day with you. I'm thankful when just one friend wants to spend any day with me.
