My family throws a raucous party for every birthday possible; we like it. My friends and I also celebrate birthdays with gifts and food, cake and ice cream. We decorate: I have the family birthdays because I have Mom's decorations-also a tradition. Last fall, my birthday was celebrated with a Beaujolais tasting with wonderful cheeses and a Toblerone fondu with amaretto. You don't have to be a kid to be celebrated. Have a party this year, man!!
