You know growing up I have always looked forward to my birthday. Every year I would get the family party and the friend party, and normally the celebration would last a good week. I have really noticed in the past 3 years since my 21st my birthday just hasn't been the same. HAHAHA I know I am older and I should kinda get over the fact that my birthday is just another day for other people, but I LOVE my birthday HAHA It just isn't the same no more big parties. Now it is low key dinners and maybe a good dance night at a club with friends. So funny how birthdays kinda drop off the map once your 21st passes. :)
On the note of Holidays.... they don't seem to have the magic. I don't wait all year for Christmas, I don't get all dressed up for Halloween, and the Easter basket by the door on Easter morning doesn't really wow me LOL Yes, my mom still puts an easter basket out for me, and yes, I still get gifts from "santa"! My mom is a great lady who loves to keep the spirit alive....
Does anyone else feel this way or am I just being silly? Just wondering.... Does the feeling come back once you have your own kids?

I've never really done a lot to celebrate my birthday. I don't like setting up big parties because they're waaaaay too stressful and because that never turn out to be worth it. My sister and i usually do a small family dinner and a small friends dinner. Except for my 21st which i tried and sort of failed at doing something big haha. I love Halloween though, its my favorite holiday so i definitely still dress up for that.
ReplyDeleteI think holidays have definitely lost the magic as we've all grown older. During Christmas, my extended family only buys gifts for the younger children that are from "Santa." It makes me nostalgic for when I used to get those. In my immediate family, we decided not to give gifts after all (this was AFTER I bought my mom a new ipod, mind you) since we consider ourselves to be spoiled all year round. It's not even necessarily getting a gift part, its just being with family that somehow isn't the same as you get older. The only part that makes me feel like a kid again is 24 hours of A Christmas Story.
