When is your birthday? How do you celebrate? Do you buy a cake and ice cream and have family and friends over? Do you stay alone and celebrate quietly? Do you go out on the town? Do people surprise you with special parties or gifts? My birthday is new years day Jan 1. I usually don't do much but everyone celebrates my birthday the night before. lol

Hello mssnow!(",) I will be celebrating my birthday this coming May 29. It's next month already and I had nothing in mind for my birthday. I do celebrate my birthday because that special day will always come whether I like it or not. I don't usually have a party just a little get together for the occasion. Me and the whole family will have a prayer to thank God for another year and a little food, usually spaghetti. I was still very young when I had a cake now, an ice cream will do. I don't receive much gift just something from the family members. This year, since I have a work already, I plan to celebrate my birthday in the beach because I haven't been in the beach for quite sometime now. I'm really looking forward for my birthday this year.(",)

My birthday is August 13th! I used to go out with the now hubby, and a few friends for supper, have cake, and a few drinks. Since having my daughter last June though it is just supper ordered in and maybe a cake. It is a lot quieter then it used to be lol.

My date of birth is March 7th. Yeah i used to celebrate my birthday with friends , family, relatives and well wishers. A cake , soft drinks , some sweets and a dinner or lunch was my celebration on the day of my birthday. Apart from this i use to treat my friends on the day separately at some restaurant. We take some drinks then eat and chit chat there for a while. I stopped celebrating when i got in to job and every thing became formal. A formal wishing from friends and colleagues cut a cake on the day before at midnight, some formal cool drinks and dinner or lunch which ever is convenient. Of all these i don't get much of the gifts thats some thing i really wonder cause i have loads and loads of good friends as well as many relatives but still may be they know that i am very selective at choosing things and they can't bring which they like. My parents do give me some money on the day and i will spend it on some thing which i like the most.

Mine is exactly three weeks time today! Another year older, another year closer to my grave! Since the age of 18 I have NOT worked a single birthday! I think it's my own personal religion a sort of St.Brian's Day every 18th May should be made a bank holiday. I like a quiet affair, I usually go out for a meal probably to my favourite chinese takeaway place, but certainly no cake and no candles.

My birthday is in October and apart from a visit to the local pub, to meet friends, I don't do a lot. My son and daughter in law normally make me a birthday cake on the nearest Sunday as I visit them on Sundays for dinner. That's quite nice because I bake and decorate celebration cakes and can hardly make my own. It's special when somebody does it for you and the grandkids love it. Brightest Blessings.

My sons birthday is October 16. I love to make my children's birthdays special. if i can. i always try to bake a cake and at least give them a nice gift. They love it. That is nice of your son and daughter in law to make you cake for your birthday. Hopefully my sons will do the same some day lol.

You can say the entire world celebrates the exact second it becomes your birthday... hahaha. My birthday is August 30th... that was awful when I was younger because I usually got school presents (i.e. supplies, clothes) which wasn't fun for me... lol, I was appreciative of all the gifts I got, but still... I also never really do anything big for my birthday, I've never been a birthday person. However last season my wife really made me feel good cause she's trying so hard to try and erase my bad birthday memories.

My birthday is in 20 August. I always have a great bash for my day. Its just because I have a big family and have a big circle of friends. They all come to my place or they call me somewhere and give me a party. Man its a great day for everyone. Getting gifts and blessings is one thing that I wont miss. Happy birthday to all. :)

There are still four months for my birthday to come,but it seems that when people get older and older ,they are more reluctant to have a birthday party like what they did when they are teenagers. I also have the same feeling, I do not know the reason,i only want to have a simple birthday,may be have a dinner with friends or family, if not , I am happy to stay at home as normal day,may be I do not want to get older ,that is why I do not want to celebrate.I do not need any birthday cake, i am happy to be simple.

My birthday is July 9th and I usually have a quiet celebration with my family. Usually my mother comes by to see me and brings a gift, or she invites me over for dinner. I prefer to have a quiet birthday, but would NEVER turn down a gift!! LOL!!!!!

My husband always sends me flowers and then we usually go out and have a nice dinner at a resturaunt of my choosing. I have not had a birthday party in forever it seems. My father and I share the same birthday, but he passed away 12 days before my 21st birthday and since then I have chosen not to have birthday parties, for 20 years I shared them with my father and then he was gone. It just didn't seem right to do it anymore. But, I do enjoy spending the evening with my husband and sometimes our son goes with us.

My birthday is always around memorial weekend, so I get to spend almost every birthday at Shasta Lake, CA. There is not more I could ask for. I am always w/ friend and/or family, I always end up with some sort of celebration and I am always at the place I love the most. My favorite place to eat for my birthday dinner is Ruby Tuesday's, but the one in Redding got shut down so if I do go to Lake Shasta I can't eat there anymore. I make a mean choc choc choc bundt cake for everyone else for their bday, but it wouldn't last long in the 100+ degree heat for my bday.
