How To Celebrate Birthdays

[AnthonyGiarrusso]

Some people celebrate their birthdays 1-time a year. I used to celebrate my birthday 1 week prior and celebrate it every day for a 7 day period and have the last birthday party on my actual birthday. In more recent years as an adult, I still celebrate my birthday starting April 14th and continue celebrating it until I get bored or it becomes too expensive usually ending in early June.

How often do you celebrate your birth?

How often do you celebrate your birth?

You're a wild man. A whole month+ of celebrating. Well. I can relate. We're both in the heart of OX country. The middle of Taurus. Kind of. I can relate to being a wild man, but, I basically avoid my birthday, and just hope it passes without any incidents.

I tend to get sick, and/or my car breaks down.

I ignore it most of the time. I don't really care about aging, but what else is there to do other than have a cake?

When you get old they won't matter. Some hate seeing them come around.

How often do you celebrate your birth?

Just that one time. I've been busy ever since.

Birthdays are important. It’s a blessing to have been born and to be able to enjoy this life.

How often do you celebrate your birth?

0.333... times per year weighted primarily in the first 1/3 of my life.

My daughter celebrates it by taking me out to dinner on or about that day.

For me, it's just an arbitrary day on the Gregorian calendar or a day that marks one more time around the sun.

I don't do anything for my birthday, just another day, but hubby likes to take me out for a meal.

 

[Viker]

How often do you celebrate your birth?

Everyday. But once a year is a pinnacle celebration in decadence and hedonism.

 

[SalixIncendium]

Everyday.

I admire your stepping outside the box and answering the actual question. My brain was locked into the whole idea of celebrating the yearly anniversary of birth rather than celebrating having been born and being alive.

More people should celebrate being alive every day, in my opinion.

I’m in the same camps.

My goal has always been to not notice it, and have no other people notice it. (Still haven't accomplished that.) Since I was a child, I've never seen the point, and learned at a young age by befriending someone 50 years older than me that chronological age is nothing more than trivia.

And you do that for your hubby mostly. Recently I did that for my family. Originally I said no, but after they all sort of whined, I regretfully agreed to it. Sometimes one should give in, for the betterment of all, and it's really not that big of a deal.

Exactly. And one needs to keep in practice.

Same. I also am expected to acknowledge the existence of xmas.

Actually i took him to a candle light musical evening.

Cake every day! Huzzah!

I never thought that was a big deal, either, but it seems other people do. I remember being a little kid who preferred to stand with the teacher's aides at recess as opposed to the other kids. There was always concern(though the teacher's aides did talk to me).

I found what their telling me about what their husband was working on around the house, or their daughter's new job more interesting than Power Rangers and Ninja Turtles(blasphemy, I know).

Exactly. And one needs to keep in practice.

Practice of what?

Cake every day! Huzzah!

Oh! Tailoring skills. Gotcha. Letting out pants is hard.

 

[Secret Chief]

Practice of what?

Eating cake. Don't want to risk forgetting how to.

Huh?

 

[JustGeorge]

Eating cake. Don't want to risk forgetting how to.


Huh?

Letting pants out= making them bigger.

Might have a need for it, if there's to be a daily cake habit.
