magilicuti Posted April 11 Report Share Posted April 11 i honestly rather not even celebrate my birthday. i never mention it to anyone, i really don't like the "special" attention. i admit i do like the gifts sometimesi might sound cheap here but with the celebrating of birthdays it just adds to something else i have to spend money on. when money is tight you realize how many holidays and other events where you have to spend a little bit of cash. and money is always tight for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djprotege Posted April 11 Report Share Posted April 11 Originally posted by dgmodel why~!? what do ya mean why? thats like saying, why do we celebrate easter...whats the big deal about acknowledging MLK Day? Because like most holidays, its an important mile stone...at least to some people is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgmodel Posted April 12 Author Report Share Posted April 12 so youre comparing your birthday to Jesus' resurrection or martin luther kings birthday~!?not a valid comparison IMO, see the odd thing is that it stems from superstition and astrology, and considered a pagan ritual... this being said, most ppl consider themselves religious ppl and this goes against their beliefs but yet its still done... how come johavus (sp?) witnesses do not celebrate any holidays~!?sidenote but reminds me of something funny seinfeld said once:"Well, birthdays are merely symbolic of how another year's gone by and how little we've grown. No matter how desperate we are that someday a better self will emerge, each flicker of the candles on the cake we know it's not to be. That for the rest of our sad, wretched, pathetic lives, this is who we are to the bitter end. Inevitably, irrevocably. Happy birthday? No such thing."

I think the celebrating of bdays comes from parents...when they have a child and that child is growing up, they are the ones who celebrate for the young child. There child is another year older and growing up, bla bla bla...It just becomes tradition for us to celebrate bdays over time then I guess...
