Your Birthday
22 Answers
Following on from the birthday thread thread, how do you celebrate your birthday?
We haven't bothered with cards or presents for a number of years now, rarely if ever go out especially for a meal or anything, anything we want to do or buy we do or buy throughout the year. We just give each other a kiss and say happy birthday on the day. Suits us.
I have a friend who has bucks fizz, cake, and 'surprise' visits and loads of presents from her three grown up children, on her birthday morning, she gets very annoyed if someone's a bit late or happens to be away on the day. She was horrified to learn that we'll be doing a four hour drive on my birthday, asking why we didn't go the following day so I could celebrate my not special birthday. She's 56 and I find her attitude a bit juvenile, she probably finds my attitude a bit odd too.
Are you a non birthday person or a big celebration person?

Only 'celebrate' milestone bdays..the 0th ones and they are low key. As for cards, we give each other the same card every year same as wedding anniversary....we are consistent and frugal lol, but it works for us. As you ethandron, we buy what we want throughout the year, no need for 'things' for bdays, unless it's alcohol and chocolate .
It has varied over the years, when my husband was alive we'd often go away for a nice break as our anniversary was 2 days before my birthday.
Last year was a big '0' one and my family did me a wonderful party with outside caterers and a decorated marquee - only close family and a special friend though. A fabulous day to remember.
