Haha is this because of my thread?! I get about 5 calls on my birthday - sisters and parents. BUT if we count texts, around 20? I don't know! I don't count

Usually, I get around 10. This year, my mom was the only one who called. Everyone else sent a text or sent a message on FB. It was depressing.

Usually my parents, my siblings (although sometimes they just text), my grandmother, my aunt, and 3-4 of my close friends.

usually my mom, my brother, my aunt (with cousins singing in the background) and my grandma (with grandpa singing in the background) and my BFF
It's kind of tradition in my family for as soon as the birthday guy/gal answers, the other end bursts into singing happy birthday.

Usually just my parents, sisters, and my BFF. Occasionally other friends will call, but not if we are going to be getting together to celebrate anyway!

Always my grandma. Then maybe another person or two. I usually see others in person. The rest come via text and FB.

No, and I prefer it this way. I am not huge into celebrating my birthday. I actually hide my birthday on Facebook, because I hate all the "wishing" that you have to do, so I don't post on walls for birthdays of my friends either.

My parents, my inlaws, brother, SIL, sister.
This year I was camping on my birthday so I turned my phone off. I was also a little bitter because both my grandma's passed away this year so it was the first time they wouldn't be calling me on my birthday so I just wanted to pout a little bit and not talk to people. My parents were with me and we celebrated, and I got messages from everyone else when I looked at my phone at the end of the weekend, except my in laws. They got through to me that day by calling DH's phone.

Usually just my parents, and I'll get a text from my brother's family, a card from my MIL, and texts from my 4 closest girlfriends. I removed my birthday from Facebook and it has been awesome flying under the radar!!

Haha. No birthday phone calls for me. I'll be lucky if my parents even a knowledge my birthday, and if they do it's usually a week later. I do get a few birthday texts from friends. My sisters and I usually send birthday cards to each other.
