Now, I sit for those 15 seconds while everyone sings Happy Birthday, and in all honesty, it feels a little awkward. I mean, who do I look at? I usually end up staring at the cake, sneaking a timid glance up every once in awhile just to see everyone staring at me.
I also don't like the attention while I'm opening gifts either. I open them and hope I don't react horribly. I want to show them how much you love the gift, but I'm not that good of an actor. Not that I get bad gifts, but its just hard to show enthusiasm for the gift card when you just opened a super thoughtful Princess Bride board game from your sister (I'm a Princess Bride fan and the gift was very thoughtful).
