I had my first real birthday party yesterday. There was cake, birthday songs and lots of beer (which I'm currently suffering for...)
Call me an irredeemable pagan, but I was massively excited about this, the whole thing was very special, I got a little emotional and I think my friends must have found it a little strange but it was just nice to be creature worshipped.
When I was a child my parents always used to tell people I didn't miss out by not celebrating my birthday but I did miss out. My parents were generous people and I got a lot of gifts but birthdays are not really about the presents are they? Us born-ins missed out on so much, it's hard not to be angry about that.
What was your first birthday party like?
