Birthdays. Why throw a party?

Question

Everyone have a birthday each year, but why do they have to throw a party? i threw a party last year at Chuckie Cheese and i realized its a waste. So, why do people still throw bday parties?

Answer 1

just dumb i guess.

Answer 2

The idea of having a party on your birthday is to make you or someone else feel "special" for that day!  The everyday life for most people and even kids is routine and having a party just for somebody makes them feel better and have more excitement in their life!  It is also a time for people to come together and have fun when they normally don't do so.

On the other hand it is a way to celebrate another year of life!  That is, our existence is a very limited one and celebrating the passing of another year is one way to remember this and be appreciative of the time we have had and have left!

Answer 3

to celebrate another year of health and wellness,

its a miracle that we are here in the first place, we should celebrate it, by the way...aren't you a little old to be having parties at chuckie cheese, isn't that for little kids

Answer 4

Because people celebrate anniversaries all the time; most holidays are anniversaries.

Answer 5

For me, it gets all of my family together to have a great time. Family is everything.
