    Since my birthday is approaching, I was wondering what everyone on EC does on their birthdays? Usually, I have cake, ice cream, and my mom cooks food and sometimes buy pizza.

    My family and I usually go out to eat somewhere, but nowhere too expensive. Afterwords we usually go home and eat cake and ice cream.

    My grandparents visit, and all of us go out to a restaurant I like. We open presents. We eat cake before bed.

    In recent years, it's been "do nothing." I get a few birthday cards, and that's about it. Oh, yes, every 5 years there is the WSDOT letter that basically says: "Guess what?!? Time for a new driver's license! Read the new rate, and weep!!!!"

    I suppose I could do something special on my own, but can never think of any ideas.

    Up until about 10 years ago, my father did take me out to a fairly nice restaurant on/for my birthday most years. But that no longer happens.

    Strange thought...but it's been about 20 years since I last had a birthday cake. :tears:

    A cake, a few presents, and a bunch of people saying "Happy Birthday!" Maybe we'll go out to a restaurant or a go-kart/arcade place. :slight_smile: <3

    My birthday is one of the few times it is very easy to let my worries go. I go out to eat if family and friends are available and if not I'm totally fine just spending some alone time with a good book or show.

    This is what I want to do for my birthday usually.

    1.I can't dance
    2. I can't legally drink alcohol/enter most clubs.

    So I end up going to a restaurant with family and the mall/movie theatre

    I'm usually working since my birthday is in the school year. I either have my own school work to do or work work to do as a teacher.

    I don't celebrate it anymore. Only my friends can wish me happy birthday and I know it'll be genuine. When family does it, it feels like they're being fake.
    I should explain: being the middle child and all..... (shout out to anyone aho is)chances are your shiz is probably forgotten..

    I just ask family to treat it like any other old day.

    I don't sleep, usually wishes come in at 12 so yeah my phone would be pinging a lot!
    I wake up, take a nice long bath and go off to chill with my friends. Pizza, ice cream, go to the beach and chill.
