I've had so many celebrations and I've enjoyed every one of them. I can still remember most of them very well and even narrate their stories but one of my favorite celebration every year is my birthday which I can narrate even better to you.
Given the chance to see a new age is a joy that adds so much excitement for me. The fact that I'm so conscious of growing old makes me so happy and I want to celebrate whenever that day of the year comes.
I love birthdays!!!... I love Birthday celebrations 😉
Why I Enjoy Birthday Celebrations?
Celebrating birthday here in Nigeria is a lot different from how other countries celebrate theirs but it's so much fun and memorable. My most memorable birthday celebration was the one of this year - July 24th, A Saturday!!!
Birthdays remind me better that I'm growing up and getting older, that I have to keep focus to my goals and plans in making my growth more beautiful than it was.
I've had beautiful birthday celebrations before now but this year's birthday was way too exciting and lovely to not write about it once again, it's my favorite birthday celebration for the records... Maybe the next would be way better.
How I Prepare For My Birthday Celebrations?
This year's celebration preparation started about five days to my birthday. I got a new hair, bought new gowns and had a make over for photo shots which I wanted to share to whoever wanted to wish me a happy birthday on their WhatsApp status or somewhere.
I didn't really plan much for my birthday but the turn out of how the celebration came about took me by surprise really. I only planned to take myself out on my birthday and write a post about it on Hive but it went way too different from what I planned.
So you could say I didn't prepare a birthday celebration but...
Here Are What Were Involved In My Birthday Celebration
I woke up early to so many wishes and prayers from my loved ones, some sang beautifully to me while some sent some additions to my bank account... My birthday morning went so well and amazing for me.
Then I came out of my room to get prepared for maybe a self take-out and I was blessed by my neighbors with cold water as they wished me a happy birthday. The pouring of water on the celebrant is like a ritual here in Nigeria.
I was preparing to go out when I got so many surprise packages including a beautiful cake with my favorite color (Blue). And I also got nice picture frames of myself from my friends. I was so happy and I thought of that day as perfect and didn't think there was more.
A delicious spicy meat sauce was prepared which I shared among my friends and neighbors with drinks and cake. It was like I planned a birthday party but they were all a surprise party for me and so memorable.
I got to go out later that day, I was taken to a pizza spot where I ate a very delicious pizza with my favorite drink.
My birthday celebration is my favorite part of the year and the celebration pattern may differ depending on the plans that are made by the celebrant or by the celebrant's loved ones.
This is my entry for the Weekend Engagement Contest you can check the rules and join the fun.

Wow birthdays is one celebration I love, but sadly I have never have a splendid birthday meaning I have never being to an expensive place😁 which is what I would really love to do.
Hmm there would be more birthdays for you to do what you really wish to do, just make sure to invite me over when the time comes 🙄
Birthdays are good, although I'm one of those people who doesn't like making a big deal about my own birthday. I'm happy to celebrate other people's though. (I'm not a fan of that happy birthday song though.)
😂 I think almost every birthday celebrant don't like that song part, I mean what do they expect us to be doing while they sing 😂
I don't know why the song part is always being avoided by celebrant🤣🤣 do you know because of that I always celebrate my birthday on low key😎🤣
😂 I will have to find a way to know your birth date then make sure to sing the song for you, it's a must ritual for any celebrant 😝 after that, you can start celebrating on a low key
🤣🤣🤣funny you. Well that sounds like a plan. But you alone will do the singing 🏃🏃🏃
😂 Don't worry, I can do that much
Just get ready to reply me when I get to "How old are you now" 😂
🤣🤣my ribs🤣🤣🤣 you are cracking me up🙆🤣🤣🤣. Ok let's see then..
Yes, that's what I always think. I guess all we could do is stand there with a fake smile hoping a hole opens up in the ground and swallows us.
😂 You're so funny, why would a hole swallow you when everyone is excited to see how your birthday go? 🤣
By the way, I think the singing part should be excluded from birthday celebrations 🙃
I concur.
Miss blue😍 birthdays are special as you the boss that day hehe.
Surprises on birthday make it more delightful.
