To be any kind of gift for my birthday is not essential. Although it may help me to feel happy for short time because someone shows me caring and love, I prefer to stay away from people.I feel the biggest pleasure I will find are from people but at the same time the biggest unhappiness would also from people as well. There are time someone may just make you feel upset for whatever reasons. Even your family , your love one, so what ? The closest relationship you have are alwyas the one who hurt you most. I don't wnat to hate people but just wnat to love everyone even I sometimes might get upset from interact with people. That's why I think , I will have a wonderful and quiet birthday if I can just spend time with myself alone. This means that I don't have to worry about how others people think , how others people feel, get hurt from interact with others.I can jsut gom to walk in a hsopping mall or walk along the seashore and enjoy the soft wind and nature.I can jsuit go to eat anything I like or spend time to watch a movie in a theatre all by myself. I don't have to worry about how would people celebrate for me or what gifts that people want to send to me (Most of time, I find that it may cost others money and timing for all their preparation.)I think since I am not a kid anymore and just don't border about if someone will remember me in my bitrthday or not. I think A happy birthday for me is just a day I can enojy what I will do ,that's all. How about you ? Share with us.

at my age, I am already happy if I stay healthy all the time. I feel good if nothing of my body parts ache so that i can do whatever I want. This is the best gift I think I can have. Although i do not say I do not like material things but I I do not crave for it. If somebody will give something to on my birthday, then that is good. If I do not receive any, then it is also okay.

i always celebrate my birthday with my family. my wife cooks and we bring it to my mother's house. she is half bodied paralyze for almost 4 years now. i call my other siblings they bring their family with them and we celebrate my birthday. i do that yearly. that is how i celebrate my birthday. thats is the only thing i want to do on my birthday. to share it with people i love and that i care for. if ever i have work at night on my birthday then i celebrate it at lunch so i still can go to work in the evenings.

While it may be true that the people that could hurt us the most are those closest to us, it's also true (at least for me) that the people who could give us the happiest moments are those people closest to us as well. Whenever my birthday comes, the only thing I want is to celebrate it with the people who really cares for me and they are my family and closest friends. I don't care if they have material birthday presents for me or none but the happy and fun moments being with them are enough for me. Priceless and never would I trade it for anything. (:

As long as I am remembered during my birthday, i am happy. Every single greetings by word, by text, by email or by letter. Those simple things tickles my heart. :)

When it come to my birthday I am just happy when some of my family remenbers it! So many times most of my family forgets it and when no one remenbers my birthday I get sad and angry! I rarely miss any of my families birthdays! You'd think they would return the favor? NOT! At least my "second family" the people I work with remenber! The baker usually makes me a cake and they buy me something! I appreciate that! If I didn't have my friends at work,some birthdays would be pretty lonely and miserble!

It somehow feels that as a child we are so anxious to have the whole works with birthday party and gifts. As we get older many feel like ugh, just another day/year. On my birthdays, it depends on my mood I suppose for the year. Sometimes I like going out with friends to celebrate and sometimes simply staying home is good too. Bottom line with me I prefer no fuss, I don't really mind not receiving any gifts and depending on my mood simple family or friends to quaint the day is fine with me.

Wow I totally agree. I`ve never spent my birthday alone by myself. I want to at least once. You know like reflection time. As a person, I think I`ve always had the fear of being alone. I`m not very independant, so spending my birthday alone sounds like a good idea. You know for independance and just getting use to being by yourself. Because sometimes you just need yourself and no one else.

Spending birthdays with friends and family is the best. But to me, instead of being involved with too many people on your birthday, only have one special person with you on your birthday and spend your birthday with her! Do give sometime to your friends and family and after spending birthday for a little while, be reserve for only that ONE!
