Do you still celebrate it? Is it a big deal to you and/or your family? What is the last year you celebrated it? I just turned 22 (I actually celebrated it as my 21st because when I had turned 21 I had just had my baby a week before lol, so couldn't do anything) I think this will be the last birthday I will celebrate, lol, I hate getting older from here on out. So my last bday will be my 22nd. What about you?

If I live in with my parents ,my parents often celebrate my birthday. When I was a child, my family is very poor, but my parents still celebrated my birthday, they will make a better dinner for me. I was very moved. Now we have a better life, so my parents often buy a big birthday cake for me. Now I live in a different city far from my hometown, so my bf celebrate my birthday. I feel very happy now. I have a good parents and a good lover. So now I hope I can make more and more money to give them a better life.

Oh yeah! I am all about celebrating birthdays. Mine and my kids' and my husband's. We normally do a birthday dinner and for the kids have them birthday parties with all the little friends invited. This year my husband and I did go out and celebrate my birthday because it was my 30th. We went out shopping and then to see a movie and some friends of ours kept our kids overnight for us so that we could go out and just enjoy ourselves! All birthdays should be celebrated!

I just turned 25, and no, I didnt celebrate my birthday. My Girlfriend got me a card, but that was it. The older you get, the more you don't really care about it. Part of getting older I guess. No Fun! :)

Congratulations for your birthday, wish all the best in the many more to come. I don't celebrate my birthdays, except for an office party that you bring some cakes and pastries for the collegues. Even that is getting harder and harder to do.

First of all, happy belated birthday! I usually don't have a very big birthday celebration. Mainly because my birthday is on Christmas Eve so it is difficult to plan anything. The best birthday party I ever had was one my husband planned. He invited all my friends and family and they were all hiding in a room in my workplace. When I got off work he took me in there and there was everyone. I was so surprised! Then, to top it all off, he proposed! I didn't see that coming! :)

i dont celebrate my birthday.... i dont see the point in doing so... after all it is just another day.... just because the romans decided to have 365 days in a year in their calender, why shud i celebrate the day which is a multiple of 365 days from the day in which i was born??.... and i totally hate it when others around u make a big fuss about ur birthday... for my last birthday, my colleagues bought a cake and made me cut it... i guess i was cutting a cake for my b'day after about... hmmmm 15 years i think....

I have always celebrate my adult birthdays the same way each year. Generally I like to have it be a quiet night, going oout to dinner, spending time with the one I love. I just like to have a night of reflection on the year past and the one I have ahead.

I just had my 20th birthday one week ago,and this is the first one which I wasn't with my families.So I just held a small party with several best friends and we did have a great time on that day! Birthday is a very important day for me:)

I'm also 22 and I hate my birthdays. I don't care when people forgets it, I actually like it when they do. I know I'm not old, but I don't like the idea that I'm getting older and older each day. Might be silly, yeah, but what can I do?
