Birthday is the name given to the date of the anniversary of the day of a person’s birth. People in many cultures celebrate this anniversary. In some languages, the word for birthday literally translates as “anniversary”. Birthdays are traditionally marked by celebrations including a birthday party or, in some particular cases, a rite of transition.

There are few days in a person’s yearly life that is more important than their birthday. The birthday is a celebration of when a person came into the world and the contributions that person has made and will continue to make. While the contributions do not have to be as grand as running a country or finding the cure for a devastating illness, people do like to be remembered, most especially on their birthday, for anything that they take pride in doing or place value on.

While some people hate their birthday or dread a certain age, birthdays should be viewed as a glorious time. Age is only a number and does not mean one cannot have adventures. It is amazing to hear about people in their 70s and 80s who still do incredible things like hike a mountain or even just live alone. These people did not let age affect them. To them their birthday, while it meant they were another year old did not affect them. Age is just a number to them and as long as their body can hold up, they will live their life as an adventure. As long as, one can dream it, one can do it and what better time to dream on a birthday.

Birthdays are never complete until you’ve said ‘Happy Birthday’ to the birthday gal or boy! Wishing friends or loved ones on their birthdays sure adds to their cheer. So go ahead and make this day all the more special for ‘em. Pick up your wishes from our collection of warm and humorous.
