Do you enjoy your birthday?

Post Reply New Topic

My Birthday is March 29th and I already know i want FFXIII for PS3 and another magazine subscription. I also enjoy eating at TGIF (Love me some Jack Daniels steak!! !!) I also enjoy Cookie cake. (A big HUGE FAT cookie basically) LOL! I've read others here who don't like there Birthday. I enjoy the gift part and such it's the fact that another year has gone by that's kind of depessing otherwise it's fun.

No, although I know my birth date, I prefer not to celebrate it. I think that birthdays are like any other day of the year; even holidays. Nothing special, move along.

I am also very opinionated about the economy, including how to personally handle money and possessions. Having things given to me (in exchange for nothing) is pointless and wrong. I even give things back to close family members and I try my best to discard useless gifts from distant family. If I have the chance, I reject a gift or invitation. Free food is always nice, but I agree to an even exchange if they're willing.

On another note of social celebrations (gifts or not), I don't like birthday parties or any other parties honoring a person. Long story short, no, I don't particularly like my birthday. I am not against it alone, but I am against the celebration + gifts.

Also: I hope you'll have a happy birthday. Enjoy the FFXIII and PS3.

You know in a group of 23 people, there is a 50% chance of 2 people having the same birthday. I learnt that today!

I love my birthday but it always has to be just right. Everything has to be perfect otherwise I am really unhappy for the rest of the day. I don't really like having friends round for my birthday, I think birthdays are a time for family I have got to the stage where I don't really mind about presents but the presents from my parents and from my Granny have to be really special. I usually make a timetable for my birthday because it makes me feel more confident that it will be a great day!

A cookie cake does sound nice . I enjoy my birthday enough I guess. I usually just stay home, bake myself a cake, and I get socks and underpants and some cash as a present from my parents :p.

Birthdays are always great for me! It's on November 25th, which is not long after all the preparation for Christmas starts (e.g. turning on the Christmas lights on the streets), so it really adds something to the festive season for me. Typically, I also like getting presents, and I usually do something nice on my birthday too!

Oh yes, I definitely enjoy my birthday, I always end up having to throw a party everytime it happens.

I have mentioned in the previous times that I get uncomfortable in parties but that is only because I'm at someone else's house and sometimes I barely really know the guests.

I can't wait until I turn 21, because that's where I'm going to make a big party, but that would be in a couple of years to come.

I used to but in the past 10 or 15 years I have grown to really dread it.

I don't mind getting older. I actually kind of like that. What I don't like is people's insistence on giving me gifts. I know they mean well and I appreciate it for how it is meant, but I don't need more stuff.

An ideal birthday for me is getting together with either friends or family and having a good dinner and talk. A bit of cake and ice cream can be nice. I don't need any more than that.

I am not a birthday person. I forget about mine every year until my husband mentions it to me. My mom usually sends me a check though, which would be nice except I always spend it on bills or something unexciting. I do like my kids birthdays though. I get a charge out of making big cakes and decorating them up. Last month was my daughter's birthday and I made her a fun cake full of frosting/powdered sugar polka dots and stripes. I had fun with that cake... but not as much fun as I had making the castle cake. That cake rocked.

I love my birthday and I celebrate it for a month. I don't like to do anything particular for mine, though. I get so happy in my birthday month that I invariably tell everyone within 3 postal codes which can be a little tricky because I don't like their questions after my birthday. This year, the day after, I couldn't even count how many times someone asked, "So what did you do for your birthday?". Who cares! It strikes me as nosy to ask (yes, I know I started it....I'm just realizing this as I type this). But the part that really gets me is when they're sort of dismayed that I didn't have some huge party. I celebrate, it's just very quietly in my happy birthday mind. Maybe next year I won't tell anyone.

Anyway, I love my birthday. It's my own private holiday.

Nah I usually dont enjoy the attention and people giving me gifts on that day.

yes i do. the cartoon you see shows how i celebrate:

Mine's March 25. I don't really like my birthday, because I don't like the obligated attention and gifts. I don't need gifts, I don't enjoy getting gifts, and I wish people would stop giving me gifts. It's just another day of the week.

As a kid I really liked my birthday as it meant gifts, but as an adult, I don't really enjoy it because everyone around you excepts you to do something really special and I hate that kind of pressure. I also really dislike being sung at.

Don't really like being the center of attention, especially not for such a silly reason. So no, not really.

I'm not looking forward to my birthday this year... I will be very old.

I enjoy it just like any other day. No parties or anything. I hate that.
I don't see the point in gifts, either. If I want/need something, I'll just go out and buy it.
