Same here. I'm not much on my own birthday, but I do look forward to others. |

I'm not the jump up and down sort of person anyhow, but I don't mind Birthdays. I have some pretty horrible associations with my Birthday time...but life goes on. I have little problem with my own personal aging process; because I've had all sorts of health issues anyhow since I was a small child, and have nearly kicked it quite a few times over.
I like to celebrate other people's birthdays as well . We have huge get- together birthdays on the one side of my family regularly. We speak for a room at a restaurant or hall and have cakes, balloons, presents... the whole works. It is a nice chance for all of that side who can make it, to get together and gab. Mini reunions.  |

I don't look forward to my birthday like I used to. I'm with you Lyss, I don't like to be the center of attention either. ( Quick story, my sis-in-law, loves to be, (the center of it all) she rented a hall for her 30th birthday, & had a 80's themed party, where we all dressed in 80's apparel, & played all 80's music, & she spent most of the night on the karaoke mic! It was fun, but I can't see myself throwing myself a party! Unhitched that sounds like a lot of fun, what you do in your family, we celebrate together too. I love birthdays others, esp. my kids, all of their bdays have been very memorable for them, it's their special day after all. My hubby's bday was yesterday, & my friend Kris, her's is on the 19th, Happy Birthday!! |

I LOVE birthdays! So yeah, I totally look forward to them. I am the jump up and down, clap your hands like a loser type of excited...LOL! Unhitched your b-day parties sound awesome...mini reunions! I would love that! I love planning other peoples parties and making them happy on that day..I have planned so many surprise parties. Sadly I was born January 5th, which I have come to learn is an awful time of the year...people are usually exhausted and broke after the holidays and I often am disappointed because nobody wants to come out and play. I have long stopped hoping someone would plan me a party...nobody ever has but that's okay. Lots of people forget my birthday because of the timing too. I have learned not to take it personally. As I get older I realize that I am in the minority about birthdays so I have tried to contain my glee and I now pretend that they don't matter much... will you keep my secret? hj |

That's really cool, hj. I hope you won't hide your enthusiasm about birthdays.  I don't think you should keep it a secret. |
