This is perhaps my shortest post so far, since there's nothing philosophical to rant about and I'm not giving my own answer to the question. Do you celebrate your birthday? If the answer is yes, tell us how. If the answer is no, tell us why.

Seriously, who DOESN'T celebrate their birthday?

I usually get some spiffy video games for presents, go out to dinner, and pig out on cake afterwards. Nothing out of the ordinary.

I do, because I happen to have a family that's into that. Usually, I'll get to choose what I want for dinner, have cake and ice cream with my mom, siblings, nephews, and close friends of the family, get a few nice presents, maybe rent some movies for the night. On a different day, I might go somewhere with some friends, like an amusement park or ice skating or bowling, something like that.
I like celebrating birthdays, it's no fun to have one go by without recognition.

As a kid I'd invite a friend of mine over and we'd play games. I'd get presents from some friends, family, and relatives I've never had a birthday party. My mom would not have it. I've been to plenty of birthday parties, my friends had good tastes, so that made up for it.
I get Pizza Hut because it's the only time I get whatever I want, and Pizza Hut won't deliver here. Heaven forbid my parents go and pick up a pizza on a regular day. Then I get an obligatory gift from my mom, I don't really speak to anyone anymore. When I was 16 I had to get glasses, they were expensive. They would've been free but my dad's a retard with insurance. So I got ripped off there.
It's not that I need anything, I just compare this to my brother and it really makes me mad.
I don't plan on celebrating anything in my future.
This is upsetting to type, I'm such a brat.

I celebrate my birthday because well, it comes once a year. Right now, I usually have my party in a party room in Mr. Gatti's pizza where there's a TV to play video games with my friends that I invite. I haven't forgotten my last year party, it wasn't too crowded in the party room. I brought my PS2 and Mortal Kombat Deception that I got as an early birthday present. My friends and I would play on the big screen TV while the kids outside the window would watch us have fun. My parents had reserved the room from 5:30 P.M. till 6:30 P.M., because another family had a party reserved at 6:30 P.M. Well after 6:30 P.M., the family nevered showed up. I decided that we should extand the party for about 2 to 3 hours longer because I figured the other family wouldn't showed. Boy was I wrong and here's the funny part in my opinion. Around 7:00 P.M., while I was playing against one of my friends in Mortal Kombat, a group of 40 people came in, more than half of them kids around the end of round 1 which I won. I wanted to finish things off with my friend and started round 2 with everyone watching. I beat him easily but before turning off the system and start leaving, I did a fatality with Baraka which involved a lot of blood which is for more mature people but the fact that most of them were kids was just funny in my opinion. My friends and I packed up everything and left Gatti's before an angry mob of parents were to chase us. I'll never forget that birthday party.

I celebrate my birthdays with a family gathering... My grandmother and my uncles fly over from the UK... we usually do something "american"... I get to have whatever I want for dinner... Tacos and Pizza... yum! Then, I get checks from my family and go shopping. I don't ask for anything from friends, just that if they do want to give me something for my birthday, just lend me their company. Other than that... it's pretty much just another day gone by on my "Calendar O Life"

Hmmm, well, to tell the truth I normally did celebrate it, but this year I did not.
There was no celebration, it was just a normal day, a normal day when I got into a big argument with my parents so I guess it was worse than a normal day.

And due to that I didn't celebrate it this year. Maybe next year...?

Oh, the argument was about my birthday present which I didn't get. Reason being "bad grades in school".

Yeah, I celebrate my birthday. Have so every year. When I was younger, we used to throw pool parties (back when my dad still had a pool). Those were the days...

Now, I never have any clue what to do for my birthday. With my birthday coming up in early August, I'm pretty hard pressed for ideas. Not to hijack the thread or anything, but some ideas would be appreciated...

I don't celebrate my birthdays. Sometimes my friends will abduct me and force me to, but generally the only difference between my birthday and any other day is that someone'll buy me a drink.

Yep, I celebrate mine for as long as I can remember. We have many balloons, cake and ice cream, and presents! Pretty simple, and fun too.

Get gifts, have cousins over, play new games with cousins. Seriously, all I usually get is clothes and video games. Those are the only constants. Last year it was at the pool.

I'm not complaining, though. I like the games.

We don't usually have a big cake, though, because I don't like stuff that's that sweet. I prefer having a couple big pizzas.

I get gifts from all of them that usually is money but it happens that I get regular presents too.

Generally not much has happened since I turned 16. Even before that my parties were 5 buddies over, pizza and an extra controller or two.

Now I get drunk by myself to try to shorten my life.

If you mean by anything extravagant, it's rare that I do anything for my birthday. I was lucky that I got to do something relatively nice for my twentieth last year (got La Pucelle too...that was freaking kickass) but the years before it were met with pretty much nothing at all. Ten years old and before were relatively celebrated but it just finally started to die out after my parents started getting money tight for whatever reason.

If I do do anything it isn't because either of my parents are involved anymore, that's for sure. I might do something for it this year (probably another downstate trip) but I doubt it's anything major, even for killing the whole being a minor thing. I doubt I get drunk just for the sheer fact that I don't really care for it anyways.

Yeah, I celebrate...

Pretty much, its me and my closest friends going out for lazer tag (Apparently, Im really good at that ), coming back for food and gifts, then just partying the night away in my basement... until we get tired of course... then its time for bed

Nothing big, nothing fancy... just us having fun and celebrating.

The only bad thing is, my birthday is 11 days after Christmas... so... its kind of a 1 shot holiday bash type thing. Any presents that my friends could have gotten me, I probably already had
