Do you usually do something special on significant anniversary dates?

I usually do something private. I almost never take the day off from work, but I am definitetly off for the entire day. If it's a joyous occasion that's being commemorated I usually don't do much more than that. If it's something sad then I go about my normal business just to have things to do.

I'll say something private. the only category I fall into is birthday. I personally don't think it is a significant event. however, other people do, so I tend to avoid other people when the event occurs, then emerge when it is over. I don't celebrate others birthdays (I look at it as an excuse to get together with the person if they have invited me to a party or something and I haven't seen them for a while). I don't celebrate anniversaries of deaths either (I also don't go to funerals). I am not married, nor do I have an SO, so I don't have anniversaries of that type either.

wow... I lead an empty life.

Pete and I like to celebrate our anniversary, but not near our anniversary. He's generally blue that time of year because that's when his mother died, so we do a virtual anniversary celebration elsewhen.

We'll go out for dinner somewhere new and different, but I guess that's all. We might drive somewhere interesting - out on the Cape, or up into Maine, and spend the evening together that way.

Ideally, I like to commemorate anniversaries with a special event, like dinner. Births I like to celebrate with a cake and/or get-together. For deaths, it is more of a "take a moment" kind of thing.

Jason and I just celebrated our first anniversary. He met me at the airport with flowers (I was returning from a weekend away) and we went out to a really nice dinner. Coincidentally, that night we just hit one of our (not infrequent) high emotional points, which was nice because it felt that we really were celebrating our relationship, not just putting on a front of celebration.

My husband has a hard enough time just rememebering special dates, so forget doing anything special. I get tired of doing all the planning.

I like to celebrate with friends on my birthday - it doesn't much matter how, it's just nice to feel special for a day.

I often get my birthday off from work anyway, just because it's close to Christmas. I used to like to trip on my birthday; I have this feeling, on that day, that it's my day and I should be doing whatever I want, treating myself, and having fun. That was always a great feeling to have as background for a trip.

it all depends on what the anniversary is I could easily choose all of the above

My s.o. & I celebrate the day of our meeting every month. Next month will make four years, and we haven't missed a month yet.

I like to celebrate in a hotel room with a hottub
