Big 40 tomorrow & another day older another day wiser.
My wife had been pushing for a long weekend away in Italy, I persuaded her No. Then she wanted friends family around, got that cut, now it's just a cake & family.......
I have never celebrated birthdays or important events, 16,18,21,25,30, stag do, all these so called important days, they've never fazed me or made me want to celebrate.
I.dislike the false atmosphere, family being all lovely when you don't speak all 364 other days, the waste of expense & the center of attention.
It got me thinking, am I being miserable, a scrooge etc or are there other people out there who just do not celebrate these sort of events?
