Birthday tings

Birthdays are an incredible milestone. The concepts of birthdays has changed dramatically as we have become adults. We investigate this evolution and discuss how birthdays in adulthood carry such a different meaning. Children love a good surprise and gifts, and of course, those are 2 things you get on your birthday as a child. Also, children tend to have parties that are exciting, lots of fun and their friends and family are all invited. I think as an adult a little bit of that shine rubs off unless you're talking about a BIG birthday such as 21, 40, 60, etc. Some adults live alone with limited friends and family so be default the excitement is less, the parties are smaller and the gifts are fewer
