Birthdays are a significant milestone in our lives and should be celebrated for what they represent, i.e. birth. Millions of people celebrate their birthdays every day because it is a joyous occasion, which people prefer to celebrate with their near and dear ones.
As we grow old, the concept of a birthday party seems a bit childish, due to which some people avoid celebrating their birthdays as they get older, while some struggle to decide how to celebrate their born day.
