    I wake up, we then generally do presents, everyone usually gets a gift too, not just me cause I'm generous like that, then the whole family arrives for a big lunch and we all wear tiny crown hats and pull crackers. Bony M is usually playing in the background, a lot of people around the world seem to celebrate on my birthday. If I'm lucky someone will say happy birthday without mentioning how crappy it must be to be born on Christmas.

    Luckily my birthday falls on a public holiday so I usually just stay home and chill with lots of snacks. Sometimes I'll even take the days around my birthday off as well and have a nice break.

    The SO takes me to lunch or supper.

    That is it. No presents.

    It helps that mine is on a Public Holiday.

    My birth always goes by uneventful. Maybe go for lunch or supper. Maybe have a few beers but no tradition

    It was all good till one of the women in admin put up a birthday list...
    Same thing every year since.

    "where's the cake?"

    "in the fridge at home where my family can enjoy it later"...

    I usually have my family coming over for a drink or two. Nothing special really, but if my wife had her way we will have a huge party each year.

    One of the teams (within earshot of my desk) sings "Happy Birthday" or "Geluk liewe maaitjie" to colleagues. We sit there and cringe...imagine singing that to 40 or 50 year olds! People are such morons.
