Do you still celebrate your birthday?

We only have parties on the "big" birthdays now - 30, 40, and so on. The rest of the time, we have a family dinner with a cake for whomever is having a birthday.

Yes i still do celebrate my birthday, but not really in style. Just with friends and family..simply birthday celebration really. Nothing classy or expensive.

Hello, when I were a little, I always think two things are important to me... one is married day and birthday. But after I married, seem like everything changed, no birthday and no anniversary either. You are lucky enough that your husband take your out for dinner... my husband??? lolz he doesn't even remember when is my birthday either... well, there are not important to me anymore cuz I dont care about who remember or not... I just focus on my children more.

I guess I have forgotton what it is like to celebrate a birthday. Every year it's the same! I carry out the same routine and I'm really ok with that. I think parties and things like that are mainly for children although I know that adults can have a pretty good time with it too. I have never had that myself though so I'm a stranger to the whole process. Still, I like to treat myself and I may buy something nice for myself on my birthday, I think that everyone deserves that! Things are so difficult now financially, it's almost impossible for me to go out for a meal or something of that nature. I'm positive though and happy within my own shell! Andrew

I guess you could say that i still celebrate my birthday. I usually don't have a party or anything that dramatic. I usually have family or friends that take me out to lunch and dinner. Someone will bake me a cake and family and friends bring me gifts. When i was younger, birthdays were considered to be as important as holidays. Now they are just a sign of getting one year older.

Hello there taraelocin! Good to hear that you used to love your birthday when you were younger. In my case,when i was younger, i always see pictures of my birthday celebration in my sister's own birthday party only.lol! So it means that mine is not celebrated. I was born in the month of August which i believe is a "poor" month in my country. When i reached 18, i decided to start celebrating my birthday already (since i was not given the chance to celebrate my own before) I used to buy ice cream, and at least 2 cakes for my birthday and other foods, just like there's a party. From then on, i always make a point to have it celebrated every year.

I dont really not anymore, and havent for the last 5 years when my daughter was born on my birthday! We are always so busy celebrating her birthday and as im a twin and have other family members birthdays in march (including my youngest daughters birthday too) we often dont have much spare cash to do anything for me, but my partner always cooks me a meal and lets me relax a bit which is lovely :o)

yes i celebrate my birthday but only with my parents. not any party, no any friends. my mother cooks some special on my birthday. i cut a small cake and that's all in my birthday. have a nice day.

No, I didn't celebrate my birthday for a long time. Because I think that it is very trouble to me. I have no more free time to prepare for something, and I always have no idea to food prepartion.

Birthday celebration is important to me. Not because i'm very important or famous. It's just that it gives a chance to enjoy party with friends and family. Everyone enjoys and that gives a lot of happiness. With time when people grow older they stop celebrating their birthdays but I would say everyone should celebrate birthdays... it's real fun!

I stopped having parties ever since my parents retired from work. Parties can be costly, so I opted not to celebrate extravagantly anymore. Since then, we only had a simple dinner at home during my birthday. I found out that having a celebration with the people who really matter is more fulfilling than having an all-out party with no one to talk to that much as everyone's busy having a good time.

Yeah. I use to have big parties when I was younger. Stopped when I was about 15 because they started to get boring TO ME. Everyone else had fun but I hated it. Now I just have a little get together with friends at my dads Bowling alley, and have a couple drinks. Other than that, it's nothing major.

My birthdays as a kid weren't happy, most of them weren't, I remember many of them spent crying, as I cried my 17th birthday I decided that'd be the last, so on the 18th I picked up and spent the whole day out, among strangers I had a better birthday. I do the same every year now, so for me the celebrations really started when I was grown up rather than stopping.

I never celebrate my birthday,I think my reason is because I am not good at making friends and can't hold a happy birthday.Birthday is normal day,if we celebrate it,why do not we celebrate everyday?I just celebrate a birthday for my father and mother,I just want to let them happy once because they are so old.

i just turn 35 last october 28 and i still do celebrate it, but just at the houe of my mothers with my siblings, their family and together also with my wife and out three years old son. i still celebrate my birthday as the sign of thanking God on looking forward for another year, giving me blessings and strength to go on. for me it is important, though i have a sibling who lives abroad and he is not around every time i celebrate its still okay for the other sibings of mine are around to celebrate with me.

We still celebrate birthdays but it's just a very simple one, just eating out with my family and all. For children, it's somehow important because it's also a way of letting them feel they are loved. It doesn't have to be an expensive celebration.

well, this november 6th i'm turning 20....i never had such big parties, i had a bigger celebration when i turned 18... i think this birthday will be a special one for me.. i think of getting some gifts from my friends, but most of my college friends don't remember my b'day..its some of my friends in my neighbourhood will call me and wish me every birthday and they would gift me every time ... i love to celebrate my birthday..

I celebrate my birthday when I can. This year I didn´t have a celebration because there were a couple of important guests sick. But I like to celebrarte it. Sometimes I even make it a theme party. For my 60th year, I told the ladies to come as well dressed as they wanted to and the men could come as they pleased as long as they were dressed and the said OHHH!!! HOW BEAUTIFUL!!! when they greeted the ladies. WE need a little applause once in a while. I like to give a party, to have presents and to share with the people I love. Age has nothing to do with it. Take care!

yes, still am celebrate my birthday with my husband and my family. My younger son presented one birthday card i never expected, because he is 2 years old. so celebration is very important in our life .

Celebrating birthday is not a popular thing in my village, in fact no one ever celebrate birthday here, in general celebrating birthday are only done by people who want to go all western and stuff.
