POLL: BIRTHDAY CELEBRATIONS:
I stopped celebrating my #birthday & expecting #gifts once I entered #adulthood. I only have a nice dinner, perhaps a fancy dessert, & wine. So, I don't fathom why many people continue on like this. In fact, it's actually a modern phenomenon. What about you?
What do you think? Do you still celebrate? How? Or, rather, when did you stop? And how do you feel about it?
If you do celebrate, do you actually want to continue or stop?
If you don't celebrate, do you wish others would know and share your celebration?
I've always had thoughts and questions about this, but I just came across an option to show the birthdays of people on my MacBook's desktop calendar, which are imported from my contacts. There are just too many, and it clutters my calendar, so I removed them. Many of these came from social media... where I would NEVER publicly share my birthday in the first place.
