How do you "celebrate" your birthday with family if you HATE celebrating birthdays?

I’ve never been big on birthdays and even as a kid had to pretend to be happy. Literally would sleep so long on purpose to drag out waking up and having to deal with my birthday. Honestly, I find it kind of weird that there’s this one day where everyone suddenly writes cards and makes a big show of appreciation — like, if you really love and care about someone, shouldn’t that show up in little ways every day?
*** My family shows me care and love all the time, and I don’t feel like I need a birthday acknowledgement, cards, gifts or anything like that to feel appreciated.

Historically it made sense when life expectancy was so low and living another year was a big deal. But now it just feels... outdated?

That said, my family still likes to do something for my birthday even though they get how I feel.

For anyone who feels similar, how do you handle it? Is there a way to "mark" the day without falling into the whole traditional birthday thing?
