Do you feel excited every time your birthday will come near?

I ignore my birthday and I believe I have a very good reason not to celebrate it. My 13th birthday was the last day I saw my parents because three days after I received a call that they were abducted and then later on killed. So, do you think I should look forward to my birthday?

I belong to the second group. Maybe excitement are just for the younger ones and not to the people getting old.

I live in England and my birthday is 4th July which is American Independence Day in the USA. I love the time of my birthday and these days it is even more special because in 2009 my daughter was born on 27th June. That day is exactly one week before my birthday. In 2010 we had a holiday to Canada for my daughter's birthday and my 38th birthday. On my 40th birthday I went to Bath Spa where I had time in clear and warm spa water. I loved the saunas with their sweet fragrances. On the roof top they had an open top pool. I had some cool raindrops which was unusual. My birthday as a child was a hot day with strawberries and raspberries. These are delicious summer fruits. I wish I could have my birthday in America.

Not really the birthday is just a number.

I'm one of those that sigh but it's okay. We've both got past the stage of getting too excited about it.

I don't ignore my birthday but I also don't celebrate it with big parties, just a cake to remember.

Mine come and go with no celebrations anymore and quite honestly I hope that friends forget. The numbers are getting so much bigger every time, though I guess I am lucky about that.

I always would feel excited for my birthday, no matter if I will be another year older. It is something to be so thankful of, because other didn't have the chance to live until my age now.

I am not a big fans of birthday party. Ye I still celebrate it like have proper meals or karaoke night with my family and friends but never be big party. Usually my mom and I cooking much and we all eat together. Small party but so homey.

Mine is right after Christmas, so nobody is going to celebrate my birthday.

Not every time, because I don't really know what's coming. But I try to be cheerful on that day so people won't think that I'm such an ungrateful witch. ;o)

i ignore it too.. it is just an ordinary day like others.. i don't like also people who shows different attitudes when their birthday is close.. i think with tv and other media they just wash our brain.. we feel like we have to buy expensive stuffs and we should buy cakes ... its just a day...

@annierose No.My birthday falls on 11th of April.Every year I forget it.

Before, I got excited but now no more. As I get older the less the excitement.

I do not ignore, but I am not super excited, I like to have a nice dinner with a cake.

I like my birthday and treat it as a special day.

My birthday falls in time of heavy rains and typhoons but there are times it shines but rains in the afternoon, so I just don't mind it...I just celebrate it simply thanking the Lord and having a good time with family around me..

I dont celebrate my birthday

Yes, I feel excited about my birthday because it’s a blessing for me

I do not like my birthday, I do not like holidays, because those dates remind me that I am alone and make me sad, so it's easier for me not to think about it.
