Zerxen Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 How do you guys go about birthdays, whether it be your own or a love one's? I myself am generally apathetic to them- treat it like another day. I normally just go out and have dinner somewhere with my family- nowhere fancy; something like Japanese food suffices for everyone.

Rend Keaven Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 I stopped taking birthdays seriously after my 17th. Heck, on my 21st I decided not to take the day off work because I didn't want to take too many day offs. If it's a milestone birthday then maybe I'll have something planned with the family..

Res Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 My own - don't do anything. Loved ones - we sometimes manage to get friends to come over for my husband's and we play games. Kids - normally they get an outing to the aquarium or some other place; this year they're having a joint party. Parents/siblings - I'll Skype them to say happy birthday. Friends - I'll do whatever they want to do, if they're local. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flee Fleet! Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Used to celebrate mine, decided to end it last year. I only celebrate at home now with family members. Besides it seems like people in my community think wasting tons of money going to a restaurant and then going to the mall is a great way to spend birthdays....yeah, right. Not wasting my money anymore. Otherwise, I say "Happy Birthday!" to every other good person I know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rezzy Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 I don't really have a birthday anymore. My son and my birthdays are two days apart, so any birthday parties we have now are combined, and his takes precedence over mine. I don't really mind though, since I long ago got past when birthdays matter anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nym Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Before, we would go to a restaurant (or at home when I was a kid) for family. And a little party between friends. But now it's over since I'm an adult, will probably just be a cake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 I'm not really a party person, but some of those pretty party decorations are tempting enough to where I'd want to do that for someone's birthday someday, be it my own or someone else's. :P Give me those Disney Frozen themed ones, I don't care if it's really meant for kids, I love that movie. Anyway, what me and my folks have generally done is go out to dinner and have cake and that's really it. One year we decorated for my mom because my stepbrother and I felt like it, but haven't done it since. I'd need help because I'm too short to reach some places that one would hang streamers and stuff. This year I do want to do something great for my mom because she's hitting the big 50! I sent my dad a 50 card when he turned 50 (because he lives far away), so I should do something special for my mom's 50th too. ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zerxen Posted March 19, 2017 Author Share Posted March 19, 2017 To those of you who eat out on birthday celebeations, where do you go? My birthday is coming up soon and I need some ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinite Dreams Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 I still like birthdays! I'm 27. I like any day where people are really nice to me and give me free stuff. I usually throw some sort of party thing at my place each year. I prefer that to going out. I love playing hostess, hehe. However, I do NOT enjoy the moment when everyone sings "happy birthday" to me. I guess I'm kind of awkward, but I never know where to look. Like, everyone's staring at me and singing to me, and it just makes me feel really weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep my birthday a secret to my friends since I cannot stand being in the limelight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SullyMcGully Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 My birthday is really just an excuse to eat at Maggiano's. I do enjoy having ice cream cake every year, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricaofRenais Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Well I don't have anyone I know that has cake so I always buy one to share with my parents since it is the one day a year I get to have cake with lots of frosting, and I go to some store I like and buy myself something I like or order something that I want.

Junkhead Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 I literally almost forget about my birthday if my mother and FB didn't remind me about it. Wish they didn't remind me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although, I try to just ignore it and look at the cake and think of how tasty it's going to be. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
