Here are some questions I have been asked, have asked, and never dared to ask, not in the order listed.
1. Are you celebrating a year well lived, or a good year ahead?
2. When you celebrate a baby’s first birthday, aren’t you actually celebrating the second? The first birthday was the day of the birth itself.
3. What happens if you have twins, one born at 2359 on 31 December and the other at 0007 on 1 January of the new year? One is ‘a year older’ but they are twins…
4. The Chinese are said to celebrate a communal birthday on Chinese New Year Day. So if you’re 20, you turned 21 on that day. So why aren’t you considered 22 when the day of biological birth comes round?
Please don’t think I’m being facetious. These are real questions whose answers are wide and varied, and sometimes hilarious. What might your answer be?
To anyone whose birthday is today, as you read this, Happy Birthday!

I find birthdays and New Year are times to be retrospective. Your questions get you thinking – especially the twins one. 🙂

I have one more question, two of my friends were born on 29th Feb in the leap year. When should they celebrate their birthday? 😀

I say on 28 Feb and then on 1 Mar every year, maybe except the actual leap year. Hey, gotta make up for being denied 3 years out of 4. 😹

Several Asian nationalities count birthdays starting year 1 at birth.

Yes, indeed. It would be such an auspicious occasion to be born on an Asian new year’s day.
