Here are some ideas on how to make your birthday a good one: let friends know when to celebrate, invest in party or wedding merchandise, make a commitment to your best friend, or plan a picnic!
My parents both realized how important birthdays are to their son just before he turned 3. I was in the first year of high school when they made it a point to make him sign up for as many Birthday Club days as he could, including morning prayer and twice-a-year celebration.
