How did you decide when to induce?

My OB has no problem inducing me anytime after 39 weeks but not past 41 weeks. She says my baby and I are very healthy and has no worries. She was asking if I wanna be induced on my due date. It's becoming surreal and scary!! My due date is on a Monday. But I was thinking maybe Wednesday or Thursday (first week of December).. as it is convenient for my husband and my parents.

I know it sounds ridiculous, but I'm hesitant on my baby having a birthday in December - same as Christmas. I don't want people just combining birthday and Christmas presents. But it looks like it may be conducive to deliver the baby when the most important people will be there. I DON'T KNOW.
