No.

Unless you were planning to do something big for a milestone birthday, that you'd been dreaming about for years. Then yes.

Why do you ask @Aummernight77777 ?

I’ve definitely seen this thread or one very similar before.

I think I did when my age was in single figures. When I actually wanted to be older.

No, I don't because that would be ridiculous, but my 14 year would 😂

Yes, based on this I view 10 months of the year as either "nearly my birthday" or "just been my birthday". The other 2 months are for Christmas.

No

No of course not!

It's an odd question, why are you asking?

OonaStubbs · 03/02/2026 23:08

In Korea you are 1 when you are born and you get a year older every new year, so a baby born on December 31st is 2 years old when they are 1 day old.

It’s my 60th this year (midway through), so I shall be celebrating it throughout the whole year! Started last month!

Not since I was a teenager.
