My wife makes me my favorite meal and I sit at the supper table annoying my kids with stories I’ve told 100 times

are we meant to do a thing?
Mostly look back at the mess I’ve survived, live in the moment with the people who actually show up, try not to stress about whatever the future’s plotting… accept kindness from those who offer it, and not lose sleep over the ones who don’t.
And of course… I play WoW.

I love it when others get upset that you don’t want to celebrate. It’s my one day to myself, let me “celebrate” it how I wish. I don’t enjoy people making a fuss over me and aren’t they supposed to be my birthday wishes to begin with?

Ah, Godfather’s Pizza… now that’s the real deal. Once you’ve tasted it, everything else is just civilian pie.
But hey, don’t worry… one day, you’ll find your way back to the family. Until then, take what the local joints give you, keep your head down, and remember…
Loyalty to the crust is everything.

I don’t normally do much of anything. If the wife and kid want to do something, we go do that, but for myself I don’t much care.
Unless it’s one of those landmark birthdays. I don’t have all that many of those coming up.
Typically go out for dinner with the family.
If it falls on a weekday it’s still work and then kid activities (dance, track/cc, etc.).
You’re saying chain pizza is the best? Okay.
Hey, Lou Malnatis and Giordano’s are technically chains…
Whoa, whoa… I ain’t saying chain pizza is the finest slice in the empire. I’m just saying… once you’ve broken bread with the Family at Godfather’s, every other pie feels like witness protection.
So when you find your way back to one of the Family’s tables… we’ll have a booth waiting. No hard feelings, no questions asked. Just sauce, loyalty, and maybe a few breadsticks…
I used to work there when I was younger 20+ yrs ago 
Same here. I really miss the Godfather’s Pizza we used to have. The best pizza I ever ate. Used to hang out there all the time as a teenager. Really wish our city would bring it back.
I didn’t even know there were any left nowadays.
My birthday is at the tail end of December, so I’m already on a break anyway. I’m either with the family at our holiday house in Whistler, B.C. skiing/boarding or abroad somewhere.
I pick a theme, decorate, and make a cake. Like, when I was three or four, I wanted a snake cake, but no one did that. So I made a snake cake a few years ago. It’s silly and fun.

I try to forget it’s my birthday, and I hide from people who know it is.
Nope is it because of the meal?
If so it was a childhood struggle meal that I love to this day
I treat myself to a nice meal usually, but nothing else really.

I take the day off each year. Free breakfast at Denny’s and free dinner at Black Angus. Treat myself to some shopping and a massage in between and then pass out watching a movie or tv series I bought myself on Fandango.

I bring a chocolate cake and some snacks to work and share it with my coworkers.
At home I don’t really do anything.
