2. I think in any country people generally have different ways and habits and can change in celebrating birthdays.
   My own family always celebrates every family member’s birthday in various ways or events, depending on the conditions, but what is always and sure is at exactly 00 o’clock the first second, we congratulate those who have birthday and then give each other input or suggestions other.

   • That’s true, celebrations differ not only from a country to country, but also from a person to person. How do you personally celebrate your birthday?

     • To be sure, I will get 6 cheeks and 3 love hugs from the first second of that date. lol
       The rest, depending on conditions and situations.

3. I always celebrate my birthday! It can be with someone or alone, with a party or a movie but I anyway like to remember/celebrate that day as I have been blessed with living another year, a thing not many people have the opportunity to do.

   • Sounds like a good way to celebrate a birthday, picnics are always a nice choice!

   • So do I, but I haven’t had a picnic before. It’s usually too cold on my birthday.

     • Maybe you can try it in the summer, like a sort of pre-birthday celebration.

5. Very nice poll, Ellie!Even as the years pile up, I still enjoy my birthday, though I don’t get as excited as I used to 🙂

   • It sounds like the perfect amount of excitement. Sometmes our expectations are too big during the holidays and we forget how to enjoy them properly. 🙂

   • Happy Birthday, Brenda! I wish you all the best!

7. I do not celebrate anything too exaggerated. I get flowers, people call me to congratulate. Of course, I have a cake for that day. I’m going out with my husband for dinner at the restaurant. That would be it.

9. Birthdays should be special in my opinion. Life is too short not to appreciate them all.

   • This is a very good point, LaJenna!

10. Being an American-Latvian I am luckier than most. I was raised with both traditions and Latvians also celebrate Name’s Days. Meaning that the Latvian calendar has names for each date so when your name comes up that is your day. My birthday is March 1 and I can celebrate my Name’s Day on June 20. Both days I can get presents mostly on Name’s Days people bring flowers and candy.

    • This is wonderful! We have name days here in Bulgaria too, but mine isn’t as big and most people don’t know it.

11. My birthday has become just another day.

    • Maybe it’s because you know how to see the beauty of each day.

12. I personally do not celebrate anything special-I celebrate more round 30-40-50 that’s me
