Posted February 11, 20204 yr In our younger years, birthday parties were so popular. Do you still hold those parties (though not so wild now) that were popular at some point?
February 13, 20204 yr Should adults treat their birthdays like any other day? Should there be a big party or celebration? Most definitely, we are all free to do anything within the confines of the law. I prefer to have a nice dinner or an adventure out of town.
February 18, 20204 yr I celebrated the big ones like turning 21 then 30. I guess I'll celebrate turning 40. Or maybe I'll mourn it. Who knows? Most of my mates see their birthdays as just another day. I think some of the magic wears off as you get older.
February 18, 20204 yr My parents never celebrated their birthdays and didn't throw anything for their kids. I just followed suit. I was jealous for a while of classmates and friends who had birthday parties all throughout their childhoods.
February 25, 20204 yr My parents never celebrated their birthdays and didn't throw anything for their kids. I just followed suit.

February 27, 20204 yr I can picture how it must have felt seeing your friends celebrate their birthdays. Did they taunt you frequently? I don't think they ever did. Also, I didn't tell friends my birthday and they didn't ask when it was anyway. Looking back, I don't think I really missed out.
February 29, 20204 yr Often, I just have a couple of beers with my mates on my birthday or their birthdays. Sometimes we just need a day to treat ourselves specially and birthday seems to be that kind of days.
March 12, 20204 yr I like going out for birthday lunches or dinners with family. Like others mentioned, I also keep it low-key. If I were really rich, though, I would host an occasional big party at a restaurant.
March 17, 20204 yr Sure, why not? We celebrate our birthday's because our kids want to. Plus we made another trip around the sun, that is cause for celebration.
March 17, 20204 yr I recently got an invite to a friend's birthday party, and any attempt not to attend it was discouraged. It was a small affair that rekindled old friendships. People are still celebrating birthdays but in different ways. I would also opt for a low-key affair.
