"Better Than Birthday" Day

As a kid I always wished my birthday was in the summer instead of in the very cold month of January. I wanted to have a pool party or go swimming on my birthday. I dreamed of a second birthday where I got to choose the day. Yeah, never happened. But as an adult, it can. I recently began a ritual with my family where we get to choose a day on your actual birthday, any day of the year, as a "Better than Birthday" day. On this day, you get to do the things that you wouldn't be able to do on your actual birthday. Not a bad deal right.
