Not really, because I think that I don't have a lot of friends as I used to when I was a child. Also, I have a lot of responsibilities these days, which makes me not really care about my birthday. I think it is actually a celebration that makes children happy because they really think of having fun on their birthday. So for me personally, it's not as important as when I was a child.
