I try my hardest to do nothing.....I honestly hate birthdays


Usually we stay at home and it's very quiet, the way I like it. Sometimes there is cake, usually not though. My birthday is 11 days before Christmas and Craig's is 16 days after Christmas, with 3 kids we're usually broke at that time of year, haha.

Usually it's just a family get together with cake. I had a big party for my 25th birthday and had a BLAST. Next month is the big 30... I want to do SOMETHING, just not sure what yet.

Usually DH takes me out to dinner. That's pretty much it. He gives me a BDay card and I always receive a card from all the furkids. I don't like to celebrate my birthdays.

Birthdays don't excite me much. DH takes me out for a meal. Mom bakes a cake and we, and my brothers and their families, go to her house for dessert.

my parents usually take me out to dinner, and cake afterwards. My sister and her family comes as well.

this year is my 30th, my parents wants to take me out somewhere, a vacation or something, but I am refusing. My dad has been ill this year and the medical bills, I hate to think of them spending more money on me! I told them, just dinner. no parties.

Well, my bday is the day after Christmas. So it is a tough day to have a bday. But my Larry always tries to make it special. We usually go into Chicago and look at the Christmas windows and all of the city lights and have a nice dinner at McCormick&Schmidt's. Now, I am looking forward to it!!!!!!!!!!

Normally I just go to dinner or a movie with my husband. This year is my 25th and its on a Saturday so I want to do something fun. My mom plans on throwing me a party, but I told her not to do it on my actual birthday in case we end up going away or something.

On my birthday, we eat out so I don't have to cook.
We usually buy a little bitty cake (one person serving) and split it three ways. We usually don't eat refined flour or sugar but it seems you should have cake on birthdays!

Dh makes me dinner, he and the kids make me a cake. My birthday is tomorrow, Dh and the kids are driving me crazy, they keep whispering.

I generally play it by ear. Every year is different. Sometimes I spend it with family, other years it's been parties with friends. It varies.

But the one constant has been CAKE
There will ALWAYS be cake

I have a birthday party at home with my parents. I go out with friends to celebrate, on the closest Friday or Saturday night.

Usually go out to eat for lunch with coworkers, and dinner with family/friends. I also wanted an ice cream cake for my last birthday, but it didn't happen lol.

I like to do something for my birthday with a lot of people but I don't make a big deal about it being my birthday because I don't want anyone to feel obligated to by me gifts. My husband always buys me a Dairy Queen cake.

It's never really the same every year for me, so I'm not sure about this year (My birthday is the end of this month.).
