有些人，有些家庭，每年都會大肆慶祝生日，我所指的大肆，是指一家人會一起食飯，之後又前前後後跟朋友吃飯，好像整個月都是慶祝月。現在家庭的小朋友一個起，兩個止，為小朋友慶祝辦生日會更是每年的大件事。
我生長在奇怪家庭，從小到大不會為小朋友慶生，我家雖然窮小朋友又多，但我相信不至於窮到一隻紅雞蛋或一碗壽麵也負擔不起，只是不知何故爸媽就是對我們生日提不起勁，連一句免費的「生日快樂」也欠奉。久而久之，我們亦接受了慶祝生日是不可強求的既定事實。我曾跟自己講，如果將來自己有小朋友，即使多簡單，也一定會為他(們)慶生，讓他知道他來了這個家庭是值得慶祝的事情。
但不要以為我們幾姐弟可以不慶祝父母生日！自我們長大後我們年年都會跟他倆吃頓飯慶生，去年母親七十大壽更全體回港為她慶生呢！你不跟她慶生，她起碼會怪你一年！
誰不想有人跟你慶祝生日？我相信人無論年紀多大，都希望起碼有親近的人跟你慶生，但我不是那種會自己辦生日會然後邀請朋友俾面參加那類人，故長大後一直都只是會跟當時身邊的伴侶吃頓飯當慶祝。
可能我認識的都是較沒情趣又內向的男伴，我幾十歲人，就只曾有一年，有一前男友因為知道從來沒人為我慶生，就特別給我一個驚喜，要我一起生日那天請假，中午帶我去海洋公園玩了一天，之後再去一間高級餐廳吃晚飯，還送上一對鑽石耳環作生日禮物(他說留意到我有鑽石介子及頸鍊，就是沒有耳環)！令我感動的不是他花的時間與金錢，而是那份想我有一個快樂生晨的心思。物以罕為貴，直至今天，就只有他一個曾用心機為我慶生，我仍然為此非常感動。
現在的老公也是一個不慶祝生日人辦，他會跟我去吃一頓飯或問我想要什麼作禮物，但要他更花心思就免了。我也不記得上一次有自己的生日蛋糕是什麼時候？十年？二十年？
自怨自艾也不是辦法嘛，今個月人到中年大壽，都已到「不惑」之年，就應該不再等人幫我慶祝了。
每年生日都在嚴冬，今年我決定請自己去旅行，享受陽光與海灘。
生日快樂！
﹝有Facebook真好，爸爸居然第一次祝我「生日快樂」，感動得流淚！我知道他平時是記不起我們的生日日期的。﹞
Happy Birthday~!

Happy Birthday!
回覆刪除My husband will not do too many special things for my birthday. But for his kids, he will prepare cakes, gifts, holiday trips etc.
When i asked him about the difference, he says they are kids, they can't afford expensive things. I am adult, so i don't need special attention on just one day.
[版主回覆01/12/2012 11:56:49]Thank you!
With husbands like ours, you should tell yours you have no one but him in his country and you expect him to do more. Nowadays I actually ask my husband to celebrate my birthday and for this year I said I want to go for a trip to somewhere warm... and that IS what we will do.
happy birthday !!!!^^

Happy Birthday!
回覆刪除現在facebook真方便, 雖然與朋友接觸不多, 但在facebook倒多了兩句話, 也算得上是一份維繫...
生日我總想與至親一起渡過, 食餐飯又好, 一起看電視都好...只要他們為我烚一隻雞蛋, 我都好滿足了...以前阿寶都不喜歡過生日, 現在跟我一起習慣了, 我會每年為他預備一隻烚蛋, 煮一頓飯, 氹他開心...
[版主回覆01/12/2012 12:01:29]係呀，我估我成世女都未試過同我老爸講多過依家喺FB寫咁多呀！而且無FB，佢一定唔知我哋幾時生日架(因為一直都無慶祝過嘛)！
人大過咗，乜都可以自己買，其實親人一句生日快樂已經好足夠。
須然遲來的一句但都想講========> 生日快樂, 祝你永遠可人,一家開開心心, 對於冬媽來講幫人做一個開心生日會開心過比人同我慶祝,點解可能我要求高如果吾係我所想我又會吾太滿意KAKA....我同你朋友一樣如果要買生日禮物都會好特別留意人所須架. 當朋友收到開心到不得了表情我都會好高興.
回覆刪除[版主回覆01/12/2012 12:03:30]唔遲唔遲，多謝哂！我今日仲迫緊我老公同再講Happy Birthday!! 我其實要求唔高，有人肯有人同我慶祝我已經好高興。
Belated Happy Birthday!!!

Next year come over to our place! We'll celebrate together, Cole will probably "blow" candles with you and destroy your cake! hahaa..
回覆刪除I used to celebrate with friends and other half when I was in HK... and my parents always cook me noodles on my birthday. When I was younger, I wanted to hang out with my "other half" or friends... now I just wish I can celebrate with my parents and my family.
[版主回覆01/24/2012 09:34:24]多謝哂先！今年生日好開心呀，因為去咗暖地方玩，天氣又好，玩得好開心。
Belated Happy Birthday! 我成日都覺得生日點都要切生日蛋糕, 其他慶唔慶祝都無所謂!
回覆刪除[版主回覆02/03/2012 10:21:40]多謝。我成日都係得伴侶跟我兩人個，可能覺得食唔哂就唔買蛋糕啦，其實我覺得食唔哂都應該有生日蛋糕架，不過無理由自己要求架麻！
我也是每年自己給自己慶祝生日的人耶！
回覆刪除[版主回覆02/04/2012 11:28:16]那就好好為自己慶祝吧。

補祝你生日快樂！我屋企兩姊妹，由細到大爸爸媽媽都無話同我地慶祝生日，而家大咗，就年年要同佢地賀壽，反而白頭佬一家就個個生日都大攪 =p
回覆刪除[版主回覆02/07/2012 10:12:12]總有啲家庭重視，另外一啲就唔重視，但我覺得最好就consistent，唔好一家人有啲永遠「施」，有啲永遠「受」，但世事豈能盡如人意？！
我今年生日好開心，多謝！
Thank so much , but i with my dau go to italy is 1th june . not now . haha ^__^我琴日好開心先知道兩人去意大利都唔洗$10000蚊,真係好低囉.係一個月機票.但我地去兩星期多咋.都好啦.
