Things to do on your birthday

Every birthday is worthy of a celebration, regardless of the person‘s age. A birthday is a milestone in our life and as such should be acknowledged. The “celebration” does not have to be large but there does need to be one. It can be just as much fun to have a special meal with family at home or a huge one with hundreds of guests at some fancy place. Personally I prefer the special meal at home with those special people in my life. Of course not all our family are able to join us for every birthday, just as we are nit able to always be with them, we celebrate as they live some distance from us but we always make sure we phone each other on that day. However we always try to see our children on those special birthdays, i.e. 21st, 30th and so on and they in turn always make sure they are with us for our 55th, 60th birthday. So far we have been able to see our grandchildren on every birthday that they have celebrated but no doubt as we get older ourselves that will not always be possible. The travel might be the deciding factor as going a distance might not always be possible but we will be doing or best anyway and cross each bridge as we come to it. Like with your friend Dianne who was not in the Philippines for her birthday, you can still celebrate her birthday by either talking to her on the phone, sending her a birthday or ecard or even an email. It is the acknowledgement that a friend has a special day and the distance between you is immaterial as you have that spirit of friendship. That is what you need to keep alive and maybe when she returns to the Philippines you can have a sort of combined celebration for both her return and a belated birthday. Sometimes it is not possible due to work and other commitments to celebrate our birthday in the way that we would like on the actual day that it falls. In those instances if we want to go out somewhere special with family and friends, then we can do it either the weekend before or the weekend after our actual birthday. I believe though when it comes to children, there should be a party of some sort on their actual birthday so they realise what the celebration is all about. A birthday does not need to cost a lot of money and in fact often the ones which are more about fun and cost little are the best ones of all. How did you end up spending your 19th birthday and was it fun for everyone?

Me, when I have my birthday I am always at work or out of the house. And when I get back my family have simple surprises. I celebrated my birthday always simple because of low budget and actually I want always to make it simple. I guess I look at myself not special on my special day.

well i m 20 and usually prefer to stay at home on my B'days. We organize a sort of gatherin' of family and friendz . Its more like a dance party. Do enjoy ur b'day.Have a blast.
