When I was young, my birthdays usually involved a small family gathering at our house. My parents would cook my favorite food, and we'd have a cake. It was always a nice, cozy time with my family.

I used to have birthday parties with my friends. We would either gather at my house or go somewhere fun like a bowling alley. There were games, snacks, and of course, a birthday cake. It was always a lot of fun.

On my birthdays, my family would take me out for a special outing, like visiting the zoo or going to a museum. It was always exciting because it was something different from our usual routine.

Sometimes, my birthdays were quite simple, especially if they fell on a weekday. We would have a special meal and a cake at home. It was a quiet day, but still nice because I spent it with my family.
