My son-in-law is Spanish. In Spain, after age 10, birthdays aren’t celebrated. He thinks the American custom of making a big deal out of your birthday is strange.
For a recent birthday, I celebrated with family and friends. I had a great six-layer, yellow cake with scrumptious butter cream chocolate frosting. Among the presents I received was an organic towel.
At Johnny Rocket’s, I was given a free balloon. At a Greek restaurant, I was served a free piece of cake and an after dinner drink.
How do you celebrate your birthday? Do you celebrate the same way you’ve celebrated in recent years or have you found a new, fun way to mark the special day?
Do you enjoy birthdays more or less as the numbers climb?
Let me know what makes your baby boomer birthday special.
It doesn’t feel like a birthday to me unless there is a cake with candles! I also love going out to dinner. Presents aren’t as important to me as I get older (but they are still nice!)
Hi Lisa,
I agree with you totally. Cake, candles, going out to dinner. Sharing time with family and friends. It’s very important to me.
