How does someone celebrate their birthday during covid?

Question

angelgirl7 · Accepted Answer

Not much you can do I guess, depending on where you live.
When all of this started people were doing the birthday drive bys and virtual celebrations, which I thought was cute. I joked that I wanted a birthday drive by not expecting when my birthday came around in July we'd still be in the midst of a pandemic.
Most places were still closed where I lived and other places it wouldn't have been much fun to have to celebrate with masks/social distancing. So I stayed home and got to relax most of the day, my family made me a special meal, and we had cake.

Debating skipping work that day but I’m just gonna go shopping and to the casino some days before. The only difference is that i won't go to the movies or out to eat this time

"Very carefully", 86 said. "Very carefully". but seriously folks,  We have been part of 6-7 "Zoom" parties for birthdays, showers, etc.  Certainly not ideal, but , it's something I guess.

I don't know. I didn't do sh*t for mine.

I live in NY, my birthday is in May and we were at the peak of the pandemic at that time so everything was closed, save for grocery stores and restaurants (for takeout only). My mom bought me a cake from the grocery store across the street and we ordered takeout. It definitely was different from the way I usually celebrate but it wasn’t bad. It was a nice birthday

Took a mini trip last year with just me and my closies in a small number at a resort that has a beachhh and other fun stuff that you need to have a great birthday with less risks. Originally was supposed to be at Vegas, but I wanna stay alive Lol.

Last year, my friends and I celebrated over zoom. We all got Korean foods and our favourite drinks and synced our favourite movie so we can watch it at the same time and be commentators like normal. It was nice.

heatherlou · Answer

Mine's coming up. Might treat myself to actual champagne instead of prosecco and get dressed up for the pizza guy.  Plus I won't have to share cake.

SandandWaves · Answer

I went out and had a Great time. Went shopping, Got a great drink. then came home.. and watched something funny! Kept celebrating it... ;)

el_Te_de_la_Rosa · Answer

Mental celebration? I do this every year. Only my mom can remember my birthday anyways. I don't have a lot of people to care, so...

I hope it's not because there's a big spreader, getting infected from his/her birthday party, right?

Quiet-Ness · Answer

Well mine was earlier in January, so I spent it with family and just got some take out with a birthday cake. To be honest, there isn't much you can do if the majority of place have been closed off to the public...

sheikalana · Answer

I had my brithday last August. I was at my parents house so it was just me, my parents, my brother and grandma. That's the best you can do during a lockdown.

The same way they did before Covid - they stick a huge cucumber up their bum and turn on the cooking channel.

A park? Really it’s being indoors with a group of people you aren’t living with is the bad thing. And masks.

not at all. in the 2020 society, you're an unresponsible egoistic asshole if you're trying to live a "normal" life...
