Do you still celebrate your birthday?  |
|
I remember that I used to love my birthday when I was younger. You were excited about gifts, got special treatment (e.g. no homework) at school and of course there was a big party with all your friends.
But in the last few years I noticed that the birthday becomes less important and recently I haven't had a real party any more, just a nice meal out with my husband. It just doesn't seem that important any more.
Do you still celebrate your birthday in style? If not, when did you stop and why?

1. cutepenguin (3709) | 1 month ago | We only have parties on the "big" birthdays now - 30, 40, and so on. The rest of the time, we have a family dinner with a cake for whomever is having a birthday.

vingyan06 (1251) | 1 month ago | Agree with cutepenguin,
When we grow order, we actually choose to celebrate our birthday at certain special age with a BIG celebration. The rest of the time, we do have a small celebration at home with our loved one, kids and family.
For me, birthday is very important to me. I don't hope for what ever big celebration.I count my blessing as my hub, kids and my family members get to celebrate my birthday with me every year.
I just have my birthday in September. I was so happy when my 3 years old daughter greet me: Happy birthday mummy!!! It was so touch!

| 3. kibitzerCZ (33) | 1 month ago | Hi taraelocin and thanks for an interesting question:) I share your opinion. When I was younger, I couldn't imagine not to celebrate my birthday and not to get any gift. But now it's just not so important to me, neither are the gifts. I just feel fine when someone recalls that it's my birthday and sends me some nice postcard, sms, or mail with best wishes. It makes me feel that I still have some good friends:)

taraelocin (195) | 1 month ago | I absolutely agree. It's just nice to be remembered. A few years ago my colleagues made a big fuss about my 30th. It was really special because I hadn't expected anything... It was nice that they cared.

4. arcidy (4976) | 1 month ago | Off course I do lol I love my birthday getting presants and money from family members. I probably will never stop celebrating my birthday even though I wont have big parties just invite family members over and a few friends and thats about it. But who dosnt like feeling special and get free gifts lol.

taraelocin (195) | 1 month ago | Yeah, I like that bit about feeling special. That's why I spend a romantic evening with my husband on my birthday. It's difficult sometimes to make time for romance, so a birthday is a good excuse.

5. getbrowser (1427) | 1 month ago | Yes, when we are growing up, birthday is becoming less important to us.
I remrember that when I was very young, everytime when my birthday is coming, my family would hold a big party to celebrate my birthday. At that time, I would receive many gifts from my friends and relatives. But now, I am becoming a real man and it is unnecessary to celebrate my birthday any more. Yes, I have other important things to do other than spending much time on birthday.
When my birthday is coming, what I only do it go out for a dinner with my friends.

taraelocin (195) | 1 month ago | Exactly. Especially when you are working. At school there was always some special treatment. But at work you'll still have to deliver!

7. andy555 (104) | 1 month ago | Yes, i liked it when i was a kid, because i could have a big meal and get some gifts. After leaving my parents for education and later work, i often forget my birthday. Nowadays, i don't care too much about my own birthday, but i will remember other members of my family. It maybe means a lot to others if you can remember their birthdays and give them some gifts though not expensive and say "happy birthday" to them, it will reallymake thier day! Happy birthday to all the people whose birthday coincidentally fall on today!

9. codris (351) | 1 month ago | sure i celebrate it every year, but i don't like big party or other rhing like them, i like to celebrate it with mi closest persons like my family and my girlfriend. some of my friends love to celebrate their birthday with big party and after that to go to a discotec or other disco pub. I don't like disco and discopub so sometimes i don't go to their birthday or i go only to the dinner and after that i say good bye and give the gift to them.
