Do you still get excited about your birthday?

I turned 31 a little over a month ago, and I really didn't feel any excitement at all. My birthdays are usually just another day of work for me...

Since I am already married and have our child. My birthday seems to be less important and I almost regard it as an another ordinary day. My friends also have their families now and they are busy with work and housework, so usually we will just say hi in this day. So I don't expect to receive lots of gifts in my birthday. I love China

Nope, I am in my middle 20s and I don't expect my birthdays. I just hope it can delay, haha, and how about one birthday every two years coz I don't want to be old so soon...For girls, it's horrifying to get older and older adn if ok, I really want to avoid birthday, rather than celebrate it with so many ppl. Especially they will get some candles on the cake with same qty as the age. That's so embarrassing. I remember mf bf send me red roses, same rule about the quantity. When you guys are still expecting and getting so excited about the birthday thing, you are happy and lucky. I want to call someone, older than me, to comfort myself that I am not that old yet, lol.

I still get pretty excited about my birthday but then again I'm still pretty young. I'm excited for my next birthday because it will be my eighteenth birthday and that will be a big turning point in my life. Hopefully my next birthday will usher in an age of success.

Hello hdjohnson! To tell you honestly, I'm not excited about my birthday. I don't know why. But i'm thankful that God given me another year to live on. All I want is a greeting from everybody, I am not expecting that somebody will given me a gift but I will be very happy if they have brought me a gift. Hahaha... Anyway Advance Happy Birthday!!!

Hi,although the birthday means that i am older one year but received the gifts or the blessing was very happy for me.

Yes at the ripe old age of erm *AHEM* I still get excited about my birthday. It's usually a good excuse to have a night out with friends at a bar or club and I can get a good crowd together of friends and colleagues and ex colleagues who are now friends and some cousins and can usually get at least 30 people together. On my last birthday celebration I had over 40 guests - don't get me wrong, I'm not rich enough to subsidise them with drinks - I tell people not to bring gifts or cards but to just come along and have a good time and many people come along because they know I can get a big crowd together and have a memorable night! As for being excited about getting gifts, I'm not fussed at all about receiving birthday presents and really what I look forward to most on my actual birthday is being pampered like a princess by my family, more specifically by my hubby who goes all out to make my day really extra special (which I do for him on his birthday as well). I do love receiving birthday cards, especially when there's an extra personal message in there from the sender. Happy birthday well in advance of next month's birthday pal. x

Oh boy, birthdays are a heavy subject for me this year. I will be hitting the big 40. I will say that I am very happy that I am much wiser now,(thank God)than in my youth. I believe that I am ready for a lot of things that I wanted back then. But as far as turning 40 itself, well, I am just grateful to still be alive and that is all that I will say about that.

I'm still pretty exicted about my birthday since it is the day in which i enjoy the most more than the other days but at times there are times when my birthday goes worse than my normal days and i have evn cried during one of my birthdays and i have felt a lot on my birthday and i think that that was the worse birthdaqy i ever celebrated and i hope that nothing of that sort happens again and i should be happy on that day... Happy Mylotting

Yes I looked forward to my birthday but for a totally different reason now. My birthday is 29th Feb so when it isnt a leap year we (me and my twin) celebrate on March 1st, almost 5 years ago my eldest daughter was born March 1st so most years now we celebrate together how I could I not look forward to that, its an expensive month though with my youngest daughter being born the end of march aswell lol!

I used to have big birthdays, with the cake, ice cream, gifts and friends helping to celebrate them with me.. I have now had so many that I don't pay any attention to them.. I do get cards and gifts but I don't really celebrate like I used to..

I do not get excited about birthdays anymore either. My husband starts talking about his birthday two months before it comes. I usually do not get gifts, depending on if we have money, my husband may take me out to dinner. I did have a surprise party about eight years ago, it was really nice and I was surprised and enjoyed it. I gave my husband a party about five years ago. This year, if things do not get any better, we may even forget it's our birthday when it comes, because our minds will be focused on surviving.

Do I get excited about birthdays? You bet I do! Am I excited that I have a birthday coming up in 6 weeks? You bet I am! It's not an age thing. Even though I am turning (*cough*)years old this year, I don't necessarily see the birthday in terms of the passing of years. I would rather think of it as a celebration of the journey taken so far in life. Life is too short not to enjoy any opportunity to celebrate that we can find. And what better event to celebrate than the anniversary of *my* birth? Which is coming up in 6 weeks, BTW. I don't care if I have a big celebration of a little one. I just don't want to sit home and do nothing. And while presents are nice, I find the little gestures to be more meaningful--breakfast in bed, having someone else do the dishes, having control over the remote control for the entire day, etc. I just want to feel like a queen for a day. My big problem is that most of the people in my life are forgetful. I have received presents from well-meaning friends on March 31 who knew that my birthday is "sometime in March". (It is on the 1st, actually.) And it can be hard to find subtle ways to slip into conversation the fact that I have a birthday coming up. In six weeks. So I won't. Be subtle, that is.

i don't really get excited about my birthdays anymore. its just a normal day for me now. i dont ask for anything or expect parties, but it is nice to have my family around. i usually spend my birthday in reno during the annual ribfest. i've been going there the past 5 years and i'm just happy that my cousins and uncles and aunts are all able to come and celebrate my birthday in reno while eating ribs and gambling.

No Now I get excited about my kids b-days. My son is only 5 weeks old. But my daughters excitement is contagious. I like seeing her rip through wrapping to get to what is underneath. I do hope my hubby remembers my birthday without reminder.

Yes, i always get excited about my birthday.. Last year, i celebrated my 23rd birthday at a hotel.. I'm the birthday celebrant but i've prepared the food and drinks myself while hubby was in charged of the hotel accommodation.. =)

Hey, Plainly my answer is no. I don't reall get excited about my Birthday anymore since it isn't really a big thing in my life. Basically I just have a cake and a card for my birthday with my small family. Happy MyLotting!

Yes, I love to celebrate my birthday even if I dont have lots of preparations..I always thankful, every year my birthday comes..

not really but i still thanks to God that He still give me time for living

Actually, I hardly have celebrated my birthday till now. Sometime I even forgot my own birthday and merely take care of it. However i do really want to receive a lot of gifts from my friends and hope they can give me a surprised party. haha
