I have a birthday festival every year that is officially called The Festical of Medha and includes at least one event every day for a week. Said event includes a range of people from different sphere of my life and it is THE BEST. I never work on my actual birthday and that day is always the main event. Highly recommend.

I'm a year younger than you, Hillary. My birthday rituals include baking a cake/buying a cake from confectionary, dressing up, hearing my family's good wishes for me, blowing the cake's candles, playing a few birthday tracks, slicing the cake and finally, eating and washing its dishes.

I personally like a VERY chocolatey cake on my birthday

Me, too. But i know i have to settle for a less chocolatey one, because eating too much chocolate not only makes my teeth hurt, but also makes my skin oilier (my skin type is oily).

Sorry Hillary, the language of my birthday tracks is Persian. You won't understand them.
