How to Prolong Your Birthday...for a month or longer

We all know birthdays only come once a year...and it is only on ONE day...but there are ways to make it last a whole lot longer than just one day. And hey, it does only come once a year, so why not celebrate it for as long as you can, eh? :o)

First off, you need to sign up for any and all "birthday club" deals that give you a sweet deal for a free meal or equivalent during the month of your birthday. And be particular, you'll want those restaurants that give you not only a free meal, but also dessert...and you'll want to make sure they'll let you go anytime during the month of your birthday, rather than on the exact day of your birthday. Our favorites for Jack's birthday included Tucanos and Shoots.










Second, you will want to plan a weekend getaway...say to St. George or any other nearby destination, conveniently about a week before the actual day of your birthday. Then it isn't actually "for" your birthday per say...but close enough that you can still count it as part of the birthday celebrations.















Third, on the day of your actual birthday, in addition to your gifts from that day, order another gift online so it'll come a couple of days later and thus you can still open another present after your birthday and still count it as part of your birthday. :o)

You'll also want to tell everyone in your family to conveniently send some cards a little early, and some cards a little late. Then not only will you have the joys of opening up "real" mail, but each time you open another card, it'll feel like your birthday, no matter what the date is. :o)
Next, plan a really cool themed party with someone else who has a birthday coming up soon...preferrably about a week after your day of birth. Then invite all your friends and have them help you celebrate some more.After that, you'll just want to try and plan as many family things close to around your birthday and celebrate it over and over again with all the different family around.

These tips are proven tricks of the trade for celebrating your birthday for an entire month...or longer! :o)
