I used to like them, heck I used to love them, but not anymore. I know the saying its better to be above ground but birthdays are no fun anymore! No fun games to play like running with an egg on a spoon to the finish line or red rover, red rover.Im grateful to be alive but I dread another candle on that delicious cake!

@hsawaknow  You were lucky to have birthday parties.  As a person who's birthday is on Christmas I never got to experience one growing up.

Birthdays were never special to me so I stopped thinking about them a long time ago.  I guess I'm just proud to add another one on.

How sad!  I would've gone out of my way if someone in my family had a birthday on Christmas--to make the day as special for them as though it was any other day of the year!

My bd isn't on christmas, but I can totally relate!  The only birthday party I had was when I was 12.    My best friend and her mother, who lived across the street from us (her mother was kind of motherly toward me, as she knew what a horrible mother I had), held a bd party for me and I was so excited.  

 

Well, there I went and ruined it by looking forward to it because at that point my evil mother creature thing wouldn't let me go.   Smiley Sad    I felt just as badly for them (my friend and her mother) because they went to all that trouble and caring.  It was so horribly rude and unforgivable that I was not allowed to go.

 

I'm not whining.  I got over it.  But I can relate to never having a bd party and it's just one of those irksome little things that sticks with you.

I just asked my husband what the Red Rover thing was and he didn't know.
