Re: How did you celebrate your 50th? Did you have a party?

Just went out to dinner. With two kids in college at the time, certainly wasn't going to waste money having a party. I'm not that type anyway. Don't care for parties. I'd rather just stay home and get take out or go out to dinner.

Mine is this year and I definitely don't want a party or a big event. I have always had low key birthdays and that is what I prefer.

Mine was low key too but I still enjoyed it.

I agree it is a milestone birthday and must be celebrated. For my 50th, I jumped out of a perfectly good airplane. It was exhilarating! It was filmed and pictures were taken. While it was an awesome experience, I have no desire to do it again.

For my 60th last year, I ziplined. That also was a wonderful, fun experience and that I will do again!

My 50th birthday fell on Thanksgiving. We had a traditional celebration. The following summer my husband took me on a memorable trip to Italy.

I hope I celebrate life. I don't celebrate birthdays--no one in my family does. Some of my friends take birthdays seriously and I do hear from them.

50 wasn't a biggie for me personally. 60? Yes, it was. But cause for celebration, too. Lots of people in my family have died long before that birthday.

It's nice for the FL to have a big celebration, though. She doesn't really get to enjoy her family on a daily basis, as many Americans do and take for granted.
