Would you celebrate your own belated birthday two months after?

Is that really necessary? And if the reason for celebration is just to receive gifts, Do you think is tacky?

I think it is dumb and yes tacky. Tomorrow im going to a brithday lunch of a female cousin. She invited us 2 weeks ago to go to a restaurant (of course each one pays their own meal , she invited us to attend and be part of get together with her, her parents and her siblings). She invited me, my mom and my sister and her husband. This cousin birthday was on December 16th but for soem circumstances she could not celebrate it with anyone, not her parnts or us her close relatives but she did not forget she wanted to have a celebration. For her is very important a person celebrate their birthday.

Well it turns out that her so belated bday celebration is tomorrow and now im sure she will expect presents from us. My sister disagrees on this celebration beause my sister believes this is just for her to want to receive gifts because there was no need to celebrate her birthday 2 months after!!! So we have tospend money on buying her a gift cause she is family, even if it is a small gift the celebration is needless.

Imagine that this cousin thought of organizing my 50th birthday last year when my 50th birthday was 2 years ago. I did nto have a big celebration or anything big even if I turn out 50th but it was during pandemic time I could nto do anything like with many people and my sister did not even plan anything either. So one year later (last year) my cousin told me my 50th birthday had to be celebrated big time. I did not pay her attention because the mood to celebrate my 50th had gone cause it was during pandemic time and I was not even thinking in celebrating my 50th last year next to my 51th, it did not make any sense anyway.
