PANDEMIC BIRTHDAYS

PANDEMIC BIRTHDAYS

What has everyone done for their birthday during the pandemic? A drive through party? Party with masks? Virtual party? Party just with family? Nothing?

i just had a birthday recently, and my grandparents came over but that's all.

Just wondering!

I sat at home, played video games, and called my best friend. And I ate birthday cake. My birthday is in August, so I was used to pandemic life by then, but my friend and I had planned to have a sleepover for my 13th birthday (before the pandemic), so it sort of sucks that I didn’t get to do that.

My birthday was in November and I really didn't do much of anything :P it was a nice day but nothing special really. It was a school day so I spent most of it in my room at my computer. I did get to to open presents, and I got to pick what we had for dinner. And I got a TON of happy birthday wishes (some from you lizards!) which was really nice :)

My pandemic birthday was nice! I had a small get-together with some family.

I did some socially distanced outdoor hangouts with a few of my friends, and my mom made me a collage book with pictures and notes from all of my friends, which was really sweet :)

My birthday is in late March, so since quarantine was so new last year any birthday plans ended up falling through entirely. This year I'm hoping to maybe meet up with some friends and hang out for a few hours outside.

My birthday was in October. The pandemic wasn't quite as bad as it is now, so some of my friends and I got together at a park and went bike riding and ate cupcakes. I do wish we could have done something different, like a sleepover, but bike riding was actually really fun and it felt like a real birthday party.

Since I was about 8 I'd been planning to have a huge birthday party when I turned 16. That being this past July, well, obviously that didn't happen. I actually decided not to celebrate at all; I'm not even sure my family got me gifts. My friends took matters into their own hands, though! They showed up at my house at like 6 am and "kidnapped" me. They drove to a local part and we had a small, socially distanced celebration. They'll never see this but I'm so grateful to them for making my birthday special when I had given up. <3

Happy Birthday! My 11th b-day was in April at the beginning of the pandemic, we had a drive by party and it was super embarrassing, but also kind of cool. My sister's birthday was literaly the day everything shut down, and she got to have her b-day party as planned (lucky) I don't know what I am going to do for mine this year. Probably just have a few close family members over, but I don't know. We'll see.

My birthday was in July and I had planned to go camping with a bunch of my friends, but that didn't happen of course. I stayed home and my mom made me a strawberry shortcake but i got presents like three days later.

My birthday was in late June, and things were starting to open up again in my state at that point, so me and my best friend went to a zipline park.

I had my birthday a long time ago (well, it seems that way) in June 2019. I got presents and unwrapped them with my family on a zoom. I had some nice food as well. My family and I dropped off gift bags at my friends houses, and then we had a zoom together. For the rest of the day I lazed around and did chill fun things. It was very nice, and it was interesting to have a birthday during a global pandemic.

I was at my friend's house, so we had a little mini Marvel/Minecraft-playing two person party with ice cream and weird brownies lol
