What is the best thing about birthdays?

CAKE of course:)

Tracy, 24
Ocean City, NJ USA

Having friends who care enough to show up.

Felicia, 36
Lowell, MA USA

One more day closer to seeing Jesus

Melodi, 19
Gahanna, OH USA

I am so tempted to say "the presents" ~~ so I will.

Fisch, 47
Preston, CT USA

Gifts and dinner out.

Janet, 45
E. Brunswick, NJ USA

PRESENTS! Seriously, my family makes an effort to get together on birthdays and I cherish that factor each year.

Cindy, 41
VA USA

The best thing about birthdays is that you've lived another whole year and are still around to enjoy it. :-)

Judy, 62
Easton, KS USA

Every year on my birthday, I have a self-indulgent moment when I congratulate myself that I've survived another year with reasonable grace and dignity.

Jill, 61
Saylorsburg, PA USA

I love my birthdays and the best thing is that I sometimes get presents...and I love presents!

Reba, 57
Gaithersburg, MD USA

If you are young enough, the excitement of being the center of attention and getting presents. If you are old enough, having achieved another year. In the middle, not much.

Jane, 63
West Linn, OR USA

You can reflet on all you've done in the past on how much fun you've had and how much fun your going to have

Meh...I don't know. I suppose, for me, it is that I do not have to clean the kitty litter that day...or clean up after the animal managerie.

Frodo, 31

I dont usually do much to celebrate my birthdays.....its nice when someone you didnt expect to wishes you a happy birthday though

Cara, 18
Valparasio, IN USA

Going out for a nice dinner!

I never celebrated them growing up but over the past few years I've kind of treated them as a hance to look back and how life's progressing, sort of like what New Years Day is for a lot of people.

People guessing your age and them guessing you're younger than you actually are and are serious.

Stephanie, 25
TX USA

All the attention! Yay!

Talia, 25
Tallahassee, FL USA

Presents. Also the fact that you're the centre of attention for the day.

Aly, 17
Cardiff UK

The best thing is getting together with the family to celebrate. We have a potluck dinner with cake and ice cream afterwards. There's always good food and good company. If it's my birthday, there are good presents, too!

Cathie, 53
Novi, MI USA

I've lived another year. I get to eat great food. Friends and family tell me that they love me.

Laura, 37
Lowell, MA USA

My birthdays or other people's? Mine: everybody coming over to eat Mom's chicken & noodles and homemade cake and to see me open presents Other people's: seeing them open the presents I've
picked out for them

Karen, 23
Ames, IA USA

The best thing used to be the fact that I was finally "getting older"... now, I'm older and birthday's still mean I'm "getting older"... that aspect certainly isn't the best part of birthday's anymore!

Doug2, 30
Kansas City, KS USA

I like to find the perfect gift for other people and the only good thing about my own birthday is that I am still alive.

Laney, 60
TX USA

I don't know. I don't particularly like birthdays. I suppose it's either being with family, so seeing how happy other people get.

Keri-Jade, 23
Brampton, Ontario CANADA

On my birthdays, i let myself wear whatever i want.. one year i wore a prom dress all day. Also, i have a fake tiara i've worn every year since my 16th birthday.

Diana, 22
