What's your favorite way to celebrate your birthday? 🙂

My birthday is in exactly two weeks... normally I do something or go somewhere but this year I can't figure out. I've gone to Disneyland, Canada and PDX recently for my birthday, trying to stay close to home. I thought of Vegas but I'd be alone... it's on labor day this year so everyone will be out and about... idk, I'm coming up short on ideas and its rounding the corner quickly! (I have a small to moderate budget, no last minute trips to Rome, lol!)

I have not celebrated my birthday since I was 21. So I like to treat it like any other day. ?

1

Traditionally I go camping/canoe portage to Temagami, far removed from society for a week. Total bliss, away from email and all human contact. Truly the only way to get away.

I usually try to hide from people, and sit alone with a good bottle of whiskey and drink until I forget what day it is

I deactivate my Facebook page a couple days before my birthday until a full day after so I don’t have to thank people who really had no idea until Zuckerburg told them. Half the people who remember without FB share the same birthday. Then I drink too much and don’t remember what day it is. Have you been to SE Alaska yet?

I changed my birthday for that reason.

My son in law usually fixes my favorite dinner. ( He is a gourmet cook), and I open presents. We usually play Cards Against Humanity, which is hilarious. Sometimes we go to dinner and to a movie. Sometimes friends come over for dinner and card games. We don't do anything that is a big deal, but just have fun. One biggie was on my 70th birthday, my daughter and I took a trip to the Equine Affaire in Mass. And stayed in NH. She got a bunch of my friend from there for a surprise birthday dinner. It was a wonderful weekend.

I'll tell you how not to have it. Don't have it on a holiday! LOL
My 40th bday was on super bowl Sunday. No one. NO ONE was available. I spent it by myself at home with a candle in a cupcake. I was single without kids so i didn't even have that ?

I tend to clock in unless it's a rare day off work.

I don't like my birthday, which happens to be today. Don't know why, but I stopped caring about my birthday as a small child. I think because it's supposed to be a day about me, and I hate being the focus or center of attention.

Um, what are you, 6? After about 10, birthday celebrations are irrelevant unless its a milestone like 16 for a drivers license, 21 to drink alcohol, 50 for your AARP card,....yeah, thats about it.
Take a trip because you want to, don't tie it to a Chuck E. Cheese obsession.

Dude. That's cool if you don't want to celebrate your birthdays, but it's a personal choice. @Pepperjones is so exuberant of life that she finds something to celebrate in every day, so I want to hear about her bigger-than-everyday plans for her birthday.

@pepperjones ❤ And we would all love to celebrate with you, for sure! Maybe some (birth) day ...

@pepperjones That's a deal - I look forward to it!

Happy Birthday @Pepper!

I have a milestone birthday coming up next month - but to celebrate I actually took a month off in June and went travelling in Iceland and Scotland (ticking off many bucket list items along the way). It was just more convenient to do it then.

On my actual birthday I'm getting about 40 close friends and family together at a restaurant for a party - I'm looking forward to it!

For a normal birthday I usually just have some friends over, cook up a feast, and open several good bottles of wine 🙂

@pepperjones I had a fabulous time thanks!

My favorite birthday thing is going to Hooters and the strip club. Going there with money being no object.

I pretty much celebrate for most of the month.

Sapphire and Tonic and my family.

I tend to go on holiday with my mate who's birthday is a week after mine and we get pissed every night for the fortinght and forget everything...but each to their own...lol..

Opera, or some kind of adrenaline thing. Repel off of something ridiculous, things that go too fast, sky dive, something adventurous.

Oooo, also camping and hiking.

I joined a LARP group a few years back . Each year we hold a couple of events at my home . Since the lady who runs the LARP and I are just a week apart , we may plan an event around that time , but don't tell the others we're celebrating our birthdays . We have a great time , with a lot of like minded friends .

Give myself a party, request "no gifts" but Balloons...tie them to the pool deck just outside the back door, enjoy for weeks!

I usually take my kids out to dinner, but that isn't exactly unusual.

I will be celebrating my birthday, next month, in Barcelona, Spain after a week in Amsterdam. After Barcelona, I will be in London for a week.

@pepperjones thanks, I liked your question.

My birthday just passed. I spent the day playing bridge.

I'd say it the road less traveled and see where it goes. Find something interesting that is near you and have fun.

Spoil yourself. Do a spa day and get pampered for the whole day!

@pepperjones I don't know... I don't really get it either, but a lot of people like to pampered I guess... LOL
Sometimes I think just going wild and making sure you have a "babysitter" to make sure you get home ok is the way to go. LOL
Or maybe a hike... 😛

You don't have to bother with the facial and mani-pedi stuff. Consider a massage and maybe one of those float tanks. Super relaxing. Plus, you might get a happy ending!

I'll be at a race in Indy. You can join me there.

@pepperjones Not with me 😉

@pepperjones I don't think Indy is in Florida...
