My self and all 4 of my siblings have birthdays close together. My parents always told up that it was because of all the Christmas parties. We were all born in late Sept/early Oct.
Yes, it's strange. My family was heavy on April and Dec. birthdays, and I married into a family with the same tendencies. Both my step-parents follow the same trend too. Here are the b-days:

FIL - April 3
Me - April 7
Nephew - April 13
BIL - April 15
Brother - April 20

DH - Dec. 3
Father - Dec. 7
Step-father - Dec. 12
Step-mom - Dec. 14

It's not everyone in the family (my Mom's b-day is Nov. 2, and MIL's is Jan. 6), but it's enough to make April and Dec. very busy and festive!
